Bower Fuller worked with Skanska to provide the combined mechanical and electrical  services to the building including a wet underfloor heating system, gas, domestic water services, natural ventilation scheme, AC, internal & external lighting, small power, CCTV, access control, intruder and fire alarms.

The building boasts environmentally friendly features such as a 11.25 kWp solar photovoltaic system consisting of 45 panels installed to the roof area providing a great deal of electricity to help power user needs, along with natural ventilation to classroom areas, which eradicated the need for further mechanical ventilation.
