Langley & Hailsham Children’s Centres
Modular buildings, designed and built by Terrapin, are enabling the delivery of additional family support services at Langney and Hailsham Children’s Centres in East Sussex. The permanent timber–framed, brick–clad buildings were manufactured by Terrapin using quality–assured off–site construction techniques, resulting in fast, high quality solutions to the centres’ space requirements.
Children’s Centres are at the heart of the Government’s strategy to provide integrated education, care, family support and health services to local communities. The investment in Terrapin modular buildings by East Sussex County Council extends the facilities at Langney and Hailsham in line with local needs. The Langney Centre near Eastbourne is located in a 25m x 15m Terrapin module on the site of Langney Primary School. The flat–roofed building is constructed from Terrapin’s timber–framed panel system with a brickwork and cedar boarding external finish. The building provides flexible accommodation for a range of services, from child health to employment and training advice for parents.
The Terrapin modular building at the Dunbar Drive Children’s Centre in Hailsham is a pitched roof, timber–framed structure with an external finish of brickwork and fibre cement cladding panels. It comprises a multi–purpose room and creche facilities, plus private family counselling areas. The local Home Visiting Team, currently based at the Hailsham East Centre, will be relocated to the new building to allow easier access to a wider geographic area.
Terry Brown, Senior Projects Officer at East Sussex County Council, specified Terrapin for the projects and comments, “We chose Terrapin because it offers top quality modular buildings that can be purpose–designed to meet individual needs. The building at Hailsham, for example, features movable internal partition walls so the space can be reconfigured to suit future requirements. We’re delighted with the results at both sites and the whole process, from design to delivery, has gone very smoothly.”
