Gledhill Constructions worked closely with Meriden School and its architects to create the Lingwood Campus, a state-of-the art learning facility for Pre-Kindergarten students. The project, which includes two new buildings to the site housing four new classrooms, also incorporated the restoration of the beautiful Lingwood House, an 1880s heritage-listed house which was transformed into the administration and library facility for the school. 
The Lingwood Campus was built according to the German Passivhaus principles which reduce the building’s carbon footprint by decreasing its reliance on artificial heating and cooling through a combination of high-performance glazing, insulation and quality door and window fixtures.
Lighting is LED for external walkways and corridors, and two LED linear strips in each classroom. Reverse-cycle air-conditioning is used in each classroom for fine adjustment of temperature during heating and cooling, with a reduction of energy inputs of 75 per cent to 90 per cent compared to a building of standard construction. Hot water is provided for washrooms and staff facilities from gas instant heaters, reducing standing heat losses. Rainwater is collected from the roofs into a 20,000-litre storage tank, for use in toilet flushing and landscaping.
