OAKHAM C OF E PRIMARY SCHOOL

A new school building in Oakham showcases a thoughtful integration of timber and steel framing, combining the warmth and sustainability of wood with the strength and versatility of steel. This hybrid structural approach allows for both architectural flexibility and long-term durability, making it ideal for an educational environment. The design reflects a modern understanding of material performance, where timber contributes to a welcoming, natural aesthetic and steel provides the necessary support for wide spans and open learning spaces. Paramount Structural Engineers played a key role in ensuring the structural integrity and efficiency of the build, delivering a solution that meets both functional and environmental goals while supporting the evolving needs of the school community.
