Case Study: St. John’s Music Pavilion
The new music pavilion at St. John’s, a small state primary school in the Buckinghamshire village of Lacey Green, is an elegant and award-winning timber structure which was built as a co-operative venture with the school, local people and local workshops.
Covid-19
TRADA’s staff is predominantly working remotely following official guidance from the Government, but TRADA services are still running.
Healthy buildings
We have compiled an extensive list of TRADA resources which elaborate on the role of healthy buildings in supporting the physical, psychological and social well-being of people.
