designTimber – Haileybury SciTech

About this event:

The designTimber 2025 series continued with Haileybury SciTech, winner of the Sustainability Award at the 2024 Wood Awards.

This new science and technology campus for Haileybury school integrates a new CLT and glulam-framed extension with existing buildings to create a forward-thinking learning environment with low embodied carbon.

With the structural, thermal and aesthetic properties of CLT embraced throughout, the new elements of the campus comprise a three-storey teaching building and a two-storey research building, which is already home to several pioneering research projects.

Project architect Chris Smith from Hopkins Architects, structural engineer Matthew Blaza from Integral Engineering and environmental engineer Patrick Bellew from Atelier Ten took us through the design of this exemplary timber project.

Speakers:

Chris Smith – associate, Hopkins Architects

Matthew Blaza – associate, Integral Engineering

Patrick Bellew – founder and executive chair, Atelier Ten
