Most of our buildings still running old cables which tend to degrade over time which are hard to reach and replacement will cost a lot. A careful new school design layout would consider that making the whole system future proof including new improved computer server rooms, communication channels/cabinets/rooms etc which will make the whole system scalable and thus reduce long term costs significantly.
Also a greener new school would decrease the total CO2 emission significantly.
No doubt, Arden offers excellent teaching and learning environment to the students, staff members and local community but unfortunately the school buildings and infrastructures are now failing due to age, capacity and spiralling regular maintenances costs. A new school with newer and much better ICT system, Library, PE, Hall, classrooms will not improve the services but will also increase the school capacity to admit more students and add various services which would be available to the local community.
