Manchester SEMH Schools - MEP Design
Manchester City Council¡¯s schools programme provides much-needed facilities for students with social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) needs. Looking to meet their 2038 net zero targets, the Council wanted design solutions to lower capital and carbon costs for their new Southern Cross, Castlefield Campus, and Camberwell Park schools¡ªthe completed schools will provide highly inclusive learning environments for students of different ages with diverse special educational needs.
We collaborated with ISG Construction and the wider project team on a program that would meet the needs of these modern SEMH schools while reducing their carbon impacts. Our team developed detailed mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineering design solutions for the new schools. We found solutions that optimized the use of natural ventilation and complied with all air quality and overheating criteria. This led to passive solutions replacing mechanical ventilation in 23 rooms at Camberwell Park and 35 rooms at Southern Cross¡ªresulting in energy savings, reduced ongoing maintenance, and fewer capital and carbon costs. Additionally, we delivered a low carbon feasibility study which could provide a blueprint for future use of renewable technology to further increase the energy performance of the buildings.
With the quality and attention to every detail of the design and delivery, these award-winning schools are already making a real difference to people¡¯s lives and will undoubtedly have long-lasting outcomes¡ªstudents are better positioned to gain vital skills and reach their full academic potential.
