Lomax + Wood has been appointed to supply and install 30 flush casement windows, four single doorsets and one French doorset for the new Stonehenge Learning Centre, a state-of-the-art educational facility on a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
A landmark project on a world heritage site
English Heritage is building a new Learning Centre at Stonehenge, one of the most recognised and protected sites in the world. The facility will welcome schoolchildren, educators and learners of all ages, providing dedicated spaces for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education in a truly remarkable setting.
Lomax + Wood is proud to be supplying and installing the timber windows and doors for this project.
About the Stonehenge Learning Centre
The new Learning Centre is a single-storey, low carbon building set within the open grasslands of the Stonehenge and Avebury World Heritage Site. The site is owned by the Crown Estate and managed by English Heritage.
The 397 square metre building wraps a family of learning spaces around a sheltered courtyard. It includes:
- A STEM discovery lab
- A flexible learning studio
- A digital production studio
- A Neolithic learning space inspired by the surrounding landscape
- Supporting facilities
The project is designed to increase capacity for the over 60,000 schoolchildren who visit Stonehenge each year, responding to growing demand for dedicated educational facilities at this iconic location.
What Lomax + Wood is supplying
Lomax + Wood will supply and install the following:
Given the sensitivity of the location and the architectural requirements of the project, the specification has been carefully considered. All units are:
- Made from engineered oak with engineered oak cills
- Finished with Osmo oil for durable, natural timber protection
- Glazed with 6.4 laminated / 14 argon / 4 toughened low-e units for thermal and acoustic performance
- Built to a square frame and mould profile
- Designed with bespoke sections to accommodate actuators, supplied and fitted by others
- Fitted with concealed door hinges for a clean, minimal appearance
Timber and sustainability
At Lomax + Wood, environmental responsibility is central to our manufacturing philosophy. We source all timber used in our bespoke windows and doors with full Chain of Custody certification (FSC® or PEFC), ensuring complete traceability throughout the entire supply chain, from the forest to the finished product.
For a project of this significance, on a protected World Heritage Site, this level of accountability matters.
Why this project matters
Working on a site of this cultural and historical importance requires precision, care and a product that performs to the highest standard without compromising the integrity of the landscape.
The Stonehenge Learning Centre is a project that will inspire future generations. We are delighted that our timber windows and doors will play a part in bringing it to life.
