Nishkam High School, Birmingham
Client: BAM Construction
Location: Birmingham
Overview:
This free school was developed from new to accommodate 700 pupils in a multi-faith establishment with a Sikh ethos. Developed around the principle of Nishkam, or a philosophy of serving others without the expectation of recognition, it was created with the local community providing a portion of the labour and materials free.
Outcome:
Adexsi was called on to work with the BAM team on the design of the ventilation and smoke extract systems. A Veriflow system was developed for the atrium smoke ventilation system, using Luxlam vents. The vents are linked to a smart control system that ensures air flow is balanced according to solar loading, external temperatures and the building’s own heating system.
