This £4m boarding house under construction at St Lawrence College in Kent is being fitted with a two-storey cooling tower, a rainwater recovery system with an underground storage tank that doubles as a heat sink and natural ventilation.

It was designed by Brodie Plant & Goddard in collaboration with engineering consultancy Crofton Design. It is due for completion in September.
