School, Mirecourt

The school in Mirecourt is a timber-framed building designed to accommodate 800 pupils. The project comprised the construction of classrooms, a documentation and information centre, sports facilities, an observatory, five residential blocks and a restaurant seating 300 people. The building design utilises solar heat gains through its large glazed areas.

The scope of work carried out comprised the production and installation of timber structures, supplemented by glued-laminated timber and façade cladding. The building is constructed using a timber frame system. Spruce and Douglas fir were used in the form of glued-laminated timber.
