The designs use a modular timber frame construction supplied by LoCal Homes and manufactured off-site at the LoCal Homes factory in Walsall.

Using the ‘Fabric First’ philosophy, the modular approach will deliver reduced embodied carbon, improve thermal performance and air tightness. The design aims for a minimum Wall U value of 0.18, complying with the new Part L regulations and helping tenants save money on their heating bills. Environmentally friendly materials are used throughout, most particularly timber as an inherently sustainable resource.

The new facility replaces the existing bus station and MSCP on the same site which was at the end of its life.
