St Bede’s Catholic College

A J Taylor Ltd were appointed by Speller Metcalfe to deliver a new sixth form centre on behalf of St Bede’s Catholic College in Bristol, to support their expansion of student numbers from 200 to 300.

The intricate project involved the construction of an octagonal building, which was located in the centre of the site and adjacent to live college buildings on three sides.

The build itself was formed from a timber frame, with exposed glulam beams and a cross-laminated timber floor and roof. The upstairs circular construction was also clad in cedar to complete the sustainable look and feel of the building
