Project:	Joseph Rowntree School
Client:	Shepherd Engineering Service
Location:	New Earswick, York
Main Contractor:	Carillion
Project Value:	£325K

The Joseph Rowntree School is a 1,200 student mixed comprehensive which has benefited from a 29 million investment under the “Building Schools for the Future” (BSF) programme.

The sprinkler installation was designed in accordance with BS EN 12845 with the additional requirements of RISC Authority Technical Bulletin 221 ‘sprinkler protection of school’ and the requirements of Building Bulletin 100 [BB 100] ‘Design for fire safety in school’. The sprinkler systems enabled the school to have fire compartments exceeding 800m2, which was the case with the ‘Street’ running through the centre of the school. In addition the sprinkler installation allowed for extended travel distances and the extensive use of glazing which would not have been possible without the sprinkler installation.
