We are proud to have delivered this striking Jasmax-designed building to a very high standard of quality and craftsmanship.
The 1100m2 Jasmax-designed St Patrick’s Gathering Space on the Dilworth Senior Campus in Epsom features a nine-metre-high main nave capable of seating 765 people, plus a minor chapel, kitchen, office and amenities.
Its architectural highlight, and the most challenging aspect from a construction point of view, is the 12m-high shiplap-clad dual-plane raking ceiling of the main nave. Supported by structural steel rafters with a vast 22m span and 900mm-deep welded beams, it features multiple valleys and ridges across the width of the nave, so the potential for design clashes and construction sequence risks would have been high without the benefit of Cassidy’s building information modelling (BIM) capability. Our in-house BIM team created a detailed virtual model of the project and undertook extensive work to redesign the ceiling with a light-gauge steel subframe. This proactive approach to finding the most efficient construction methodology and identifying in advance where issues might arise during installation of services saved our client time and money and produced a better-looking result.
Other special features include a 12m x 12m glazed curtain wall, oak interior linings, 13m-high Nuwall cladding, and a cross-shaped window with brickwork detailing.
