OPTIMISING WELLBEING IN EDUCATION DESIGN
OPTIMISING WELLBEING IN EDUCATION DESIGN
Paul Knifton, Strategic Accounts Director at Pick Everard, considers how to be creative with wellbeing design in schools within a standardised framework.

Construction Framework 2025 (CF25) maintains the use of energy-efficient technology and sustainable materials to minimise carbon emissions, and comes with a Pattern Book so layouts are not being created from scratch. However, it is clear that the framework wants more.
