The building of a new school commenced quite near to where I live in April 2014. The children were in it by September. It was quite incredible to watch. Having the same structure and architectural drawings in place for six, eight, 12 or 16 classrooms works. The buildings are not prefabricated with sections being dropped in, rather, they are good quality school buildings with good environmental features. They are well placed and surrounded by good areas. I did not think it was possible to complete a building so quickly. It is a well designed, modern and cheerful building, all the things we expect for our children. Sometimes we forget that the building industry, like everything else in this world, has advanced considerably.
