The Building Blocks Of Knowledge

Whether an entirely new structure is needed, or just an extension to an existing property, we can find the perfect solution for your educational development.

Our concrete blocks have contributed towards construction projects at all kinds of educational institutions. For instance, our materials have been used for work at renowned learning centres such as Magdalene College and Sidney Sussex College at the University of Cambridge.

We’ve also supplied concrete blocks for developments at colleges across East Anglia and in London. For instance, our Lignacite concrete blocks can be found on the innovative campuses of both Brunel University and the White City Campus of Imperial College London. Brunel University in particular benefited from our sustainable credentials, which fitted perfectly with their aspirations for carbon-efficient construction.

The King’s Lynn Innovation Centre was also a great project to be part of. Covering 2,000 square metres, it stands as the largest brownfield redevelopment in West Norfolk, and one of the biggest in East Anglia as a whole.

Commonly Used Products

Whether you’re starting from scratch or adding to an existing structure, we have the right concrete blocks for your needs.

Our Lignacite Paint Grade Concrete Blocks are among the most useful for these builds. With excellent fire and sound insulation, they are perfectly suited to a busy school or college. And if you’re looking to minimise your environmental impact, Lignacite ECO blocks are available with 50% and 70% recycled content. Alternatively, you may prefer our other medium-density blocks, Ash GP.

If strength is needed for a really ambitious building, our Lignacrete range should fit the bill.
