Further and Higher Education
TG Escapes’ modular timber-frame buildings provide a rapid, cost-effective, and adaptable solution for the evolving needs of further and higher education. We build high-quality, aesthetically pleasing spaces that can enhance student learning experience while minimising disruption and environmental impact.
TG Escapes’ modular timber frame buildings offer a fantastic solution for further and higher education institutions seeking to expand or improve their facilities. We bring a range of benefits to the sector:
Speed and Efficiency: Modular construction significantly reduces build time compared to traditional methods. Our panelised system is largely constructed off-site, minimising disruption to day to day operations and allowing for faster occupancy, perfect for growing student numbers or tight deadlines.
Sustainability and Cost-Effectiveness: Timber is a renewable resource, making our buildings an environmentally responsible choice, achieving net zero in operation as standard. Our controlled manufacturing conditions also reduce waste and improve energy efficiency across construction. Modular construction offers reliable cost savings due to reduced labour time and material waste.
Flexibility and Adaptability: Our modular system allows for bespoke configurations tailored to your needs, whether it’s classrooms, laboratories, libraries, or student accommodation. These buildings can feature moveable walls to provide a choice of spaces, and can be easily expanded as the institution’s requirements evolve, offering long-term adaptability.
Excellent Performance: TG Escapes utilises in-house timber engineering and design, ensuring structural integrity, durability, and excellent thermal performance. This translates to comfortable, energy-efficient learning environments ideal for student well-being and academic success. We create permanent buildings designed around at least 50 years of everyday use.
Aesthetic Appeal: Timber frame buildings offer a warm, natural aesthetic, creating welcoming and inspiring spaces for learning and collaboration. Our design flexibility allows for us to tailor looks around existing infrastructure.
We’ve completed a number of projects providing post-16 provision. Our in-house design team have worked on inclusive learning environments, lecture theatres, sixth-form centres and accommodation blocks.
Pshychology Department at Solihull 6th Form College
“Excellent – great working partnership. Sustainability ethos matches ours. Looking forward to working together again on net zero projects”.
Work Skills and Enterprise at St Josephs Specialist Trust
“TG took a project that was unaffordable as a traditional build and through bespoke modular design and construction delivered an affordable outstanding building on time and in-budget. An impressive feat particularly during a global pandemic and Brexit”.
Swalcliffe Park School
“This is the second project we have completed with TG Escapes. The reason for this is that they have always listened to the schools needs and provided us with a cost effective solution with the minimum of fuss. We intend to use TG Escapes again this summer for a further project also.”
Dining Hall at Trinity Sixth Form College
“TG Escapes completed construction works to our new 600 SQM dining hall to a high standard and delivered the program whilst the school was fully occupied by staff and students. The project was completed in 5 months and construction works were completed with minimal disruption to teaching and learning.”
King Edwards VI Handsworth School 6th Form Centre
“Overall a very good experience working with the TG Escapes team from the initial on-site meeting to formulation of drawings to the construction of the new building and completion.”
