                               Three-storey extension to an existing community centre, Bristol

 

                                

                                

                               Coniston Community Centre nearing completion in February 2011

The Coniston Community Centre extension posed an interesting question in the first instance in so far as we had to ascertain if it was structurally viable to design a steel frame to enclose the previously external roof-top break-out area. This done, the three-storey extension was formed using a load-bearing masonry envelope and pre-stressed concrete plank floors. PRO Structures was involved with this project throughout the design phases, attending construction and design meetings, liaising with the contractor to solve any issues which might arise, and preparing viability reports for budget purposes. This project was partially funded by lottery revenues and completed in March 2011.

PRO Structures’ work involved:

  • Feasibility reporting
  • Structural design
  • Structural viability reporting
  • Liaison with Patchway District Council’s construction team, as well as with the architect and contractor.
