BREEAM Awards success for White Design

Posted on March 4, 2010

Rogiet Primary School in Monmouthshire has won the 2010 BREEAM Schools Award, announced on 3 March at the Ecobuild exhibition in Earls Court, London. Judges selected Rogiet primary school as the category winner from a shortlist of 3 schools completed in 2010, all of which have excelled under BREEAM.

Craig White, Director of White Design, said: “We are delighted that the teamwork which produced this result has been recognised.  With Monmouthshire County Council, who commissioned the building and Willmott Dixon, our construction partners, we shared an innovative approach and an ambition to make Rogiet school an exemplar of sustainable design, which BREEAM has enabled us to measure and celebrate”.

On completion in 2009, the 210-place Rogiet school achieved the highest rating of all BREEAM education schemes in the UK with its percentage score of 78.18%. Head teacher Kathryn Evans said: "We are privileged to have such a fantastic facility in which to learn".
