With words and symbols from global cultures etched into the outside walls for a striking appearance, the designers of a new Telford School crafted an ‘A’ Grade development that inspires the whole community.

What might not be so immediately obvious is how these stunning effects were achieved. Amazingly, this intricate, highly detailed work was created using pre-cast reconstructed stone cladding – the unsung hero of modern construction.

The drab grey concrete slabs such cladding is commonly associated with are now a thing of the past. Architectural trailblazers in the public sector are using the very latest pre-cast technology to bring incredible designs to life in a way that won't break the bank, with plenty of green credentials and efficient off site construction to boot.
