An adult education centre in Lewisham has been built on a brownfield site using modules from Yorkon. The three storey scheme for the Council was delivered on time and budget.
Manufactured off-site in York, 39 steel-framed modules were craned into position in less than a week. The building has timber solar shading to screen the windows on the south elevation, western cedar cladding, and slate grey panels. Facilities at the centre include general classrooms, offices, an IT suite, and a food studies laboratory.
Research from Yorkon has shown that the company are delivering 96% of their building projects on time and 94% of these on budget, over the last five years. The company has launched a customer charter which sets out a series of performance standards for every specified school building project. Every modular building produced from the company has BBA and LPCB certification and LANTAC approval.

Off-site construction specialist Yorkon, in partnership with architect Cartwright Pickard, has launched a ?pioneering? design for new school buildings in response to the Government?s Building Schools for the Future initiative. The design for both complete schools and extensions has been developed to push forward modern construction methods. They are in line with DfES guidelines and are intended to encourage innovation, helping schools and education authorities to create stimulating learning environments that fit specific local needs. The concepts, which have already been delivered by the company in sectors such as housing, healthcare and supermarkets, are expected to deliver improved lead times, reduced disruption, safer sites and better quality.
