The Littlehey II building, the new Young Offenders Institute, has been awarded a 2010 BREEAM Award.
The Institute consists of two, two storey prison house blocks with 120 cells each, constructed by Wates Construction Ltd using Premier Interlink's unique 'PremierCell' offsite construction system and approved by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ).
The buildings have a biomass heating system which provides more than 30 per cent of annual heating, a modular construction with outstanding thermal performance and integrated high performance M&E design.
Each six cell prison module has steel reinforced walls, floors and ceilings and is approved for use in Category B and C regimes by the MoJ. Each individual prison cell is designed for single occupancy, including their own shower and toilet facility.
An internal walkway and staircases create easy access for staff and inmates and each cell block has a pitched roof fitted to comply with the Ministry of Defence security regime.
To achieve BREEAM ‘excellent’ ratings, a project must meet the required criteria in areas of energy, materials, waste, water, ecology, pollution, transport, management, and health and wellbeing.
An ‘excellent’ rating requires a score of 70 and above, with Littlehey II scoring a total of 76.23 per cent.
