The Forge Care Centre

JMS tackled the challenging ground conditions at The Forge Care Centre for Children by designing specialised foundations to address issues with coal seams and made ground on the Nuneaton site. This ensured the stability and longevity of the buildings.

The superstructures were built using Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), which allowed for efficient offsite construction and rapid assembly, reducing on-site disruption and speeding up the project timeline.

Clad in timber and zinc, the four residential care buildings blend seamlessly with their landscaped surroundings. The engineering techniques employed not only overcame significant geotechnical challenges but also facilitated the creation of a nurturing and therapeutic environment for children in need of care and recovery.
