Designing CFS structures: The new school bfs in naples

The design solutions for the new “Foundation and Primary School” on behalf of the British Force School (BFS) of NATO in Naples are of great interest within the national construction sector. From the structural point of view, the adoption of a stick-built system made of cold-formed steel walls braced by wood-based sheathing panels appears to best satisfy the high safety, durability and eco-efficiency standards of the client. The end result is a school complex covering an area in the region of about 3000 m2, each element of which reflects the integrated and coordinated work of the designers and technicians, from the conceptual design to the execution phase.
