​Specialist Educational Needs

Picture
​​HOCA are familiar with the complexities associated with maintaining SEN provision with the Borough for both political and operational objectives.

We were able to demonstrate the possible options to increase the sizes of the existing teaching spaces within the existing Key Stage ONE and Key Stage TWO buildings so as to comply with BB99 requirements and, at the same time accommodate the new SEN Base.

Design options are examined for additional SEN provision with reference to BB77 "Designing for pupil with Special educational Needs" culminating in a final Design Solution that is approved by all stakeholders.


Value Engineering
HOCA are forever conscious of the importance of budgets and what they are meant to deliver.

​We are familiar with revisiting project budgets and identifying appropriate cost savings without diminishing the quality of the building environments. This task is undertaken in a pragmatic manner to enable realisitic savings to be made to work packages, specifications, or where necessary incorporate some design adjustments in order to achieve the objective.

Acoustic Design
Designing for children with special needs requires even further consideration and we know the consequence that sound can have on children within the SEN Base.

Acoustic control plays a vital part in the design of the building and the acoustic treatment to walls and ceiling remain an important part of the design process. 

Secure Access Control
Security of children is particularly relevant given the nature and functionality of a SEN Base. HOCA in conjunction with the school generate a policy for access control throughout the school for the completed project.

Outdoor Spaces for Education
Particular attention is directed towards the design of outside spaces and our creation of spaces for educational use. This is undertaken by adhering to the main principals contained within BB71 - "The Outdoor Classroom".
