classrooms and other buildings developed” says Rural Log Cabins Director Steve Missen. Advantages include :
* Can be erected more quickly and are potentially quicker for successfull planning approval.
* Make very stylish, eco-friendly buildings that blend well with their surroundings.
* Can be used to teach children about environmental issues and sustainable living.
* Very affordable |

New Buildings for Schools Beat the Budget Bug
Ashby School, based in Ashby de la Zouch in Leicestershire, was one of the first educational establishments to turn to Rural Log Cabins to solve their building problems. The school now has two outside eating areas, the first was erected in 2005 and the second one within 12 months— both fully equipped to serve hot and cold food and drinks.

“We are extremely happy with the two outbuildings from
Rural. They are really popular with the students, who prefer to be outside on their breaks, plus the buildings have eased congestion around the school at break times. They are a valuable asset to the school’s catering service.” says Nicola Leigh, Catering Manager at Ashby School.

Rural has also built a classroom for the Montessori Pre-School in Lutterworth, south Leicestershire. The additional building is used as a ‘base’ room for the 2-3 year old infants for them to eat, play and sleep. Claire Oliver from Montessori School says: “Our classroom is such an asset to the school and was built with the minimum of fuss. The extra space has not only allowed us to take on more children but has also provided a really enjoyable outside area to work in.” |

In addition, the company has built an outside food station for Wreake Valley Community College in Leicestershire and a classroom, toilets and kitchen facility for Chackmore playgroup in Buckinghamshire.
Rural Log Cabins Limited prides itself on its environmental credentials and is able to supply a wide range of sustainable features from solar and photovoltaic panels for heating and energy to biogesters and rainwater harvesters. |

Rural has been producing bespoke log cabins for over eight years and also supplies environmental solutions which can be incorporated in the building and which are designed to work hand in hand with the local landscape and ecology.

| “These log cabin designs are ideal for schools,” says director Steve Missen. “We can design them individually for whatever the school needs and equip them with full plumbing facilities so they can stand alone if necessary. But the real advantage is that they can be built within a few weeks,
easily within the summer holidays. They provide a real and more permanent, long-lasting, alternative to the portacabin style classrooms that many schools rely on when their admission numbers go up. And they are much more attractive and eco-friendly.” |
