Project Details
Apollo was re-engaged by St Thomas’s to design and build the school’s new STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) Learning Studio, following the recent successful completion of its new gymnasium.
The single storey STEM learning centre is a 660m² space, designed with three co-joined pods each separated by full height glazed sliding doors. Each of the three pods has its own breakout room and is designed to operate as two classroom spaces.
The science pod is equipped with work benches, chemical sinks and Bunsen burners. Teachers have their own staff/resource room, centrally located for visual supervision and easy access.
All areas are well equipped with in floor power and data points and the whole educational facility is well served with wireless data to allow students robust internet connectivity.
The construction consists of concrete floor, steel portals, Kingspan wall cladding, double glazed windows and an insulated Coloursteel roof.
Testimonial
"We are thrilled with the transformation brought by Apollo Projects at St Thomas's.
Their expertise in designing and building the new STEM Learning Studio has exceeded our expectations. The state-of-the-art facility not only replaced the old structure lost in the 2011 earthquake but has also become a hub of innovation for our students. With ample power and data points throughout, along with reliable wireless connectivity, our learners are now equipped to explore science, technology, engineering, and math like never before. Thank you, Apollo Projects, for your outstanding work!"
