• Flexible architectural space and design: offering you a solution to inspire students and accommodate future changes or needs.
• Speed – Innovative building projects delivered in up to half the time of traditional construction. So you can enjoy a faster return on your investment – meaning earlier occupation for staff and pupils.
• Durability: Above all, your school is designed to be used. That’s why we can incorporate a range of durable finishes and fixtures specifically designed to take punishment. This includes protection on walls, dado rails on corridors to prevent scratches and scuffs, solid core doors and hard wearing finishes.
• Cable management – The Yorkon building system provides flexibility of design, installation and servicing of data communication cables for ITC enabled classrooms.
• A cleaner, safer site – When building on school and university sites, safety is paramount. Compared to HSE statistics on the safety of traditional construction methods, Yorkon solutions increase site safety by 46%.  Our buildings are constructed in a controlled factory environment, so you can expect 90% fewer vehicle movements and a shorter programme – giving you a safer, cleaner site and minimal disruption to your staff and pupils.
• Whole community use – Flexible spaces mean a broader range of uses to accommodate community centres, pre-school clubs, after-school clubs and night schools.
• A pioneering 5-year product and 20-year structural warranty package – giving you the assurance that your building is built to last.
• With independent British Board of Agrément (BBA) and Local Authority Building Control LANTAC approval, you can be certain that your facilities will meet the relevant Building Regulations and Building Standards.
• LPBC approval and fire engineered design minimises the risk from fire.
