Meadowside School, Quedgeley, Gloucester
Meadowside Primary School Quedgeley was funded by Gloucestershire County Council.
2200 m2 of Aquaflow was used in the car parking and playground area. A tanked system was developed collecting water and using it to flush lavatories. An increased depth of the sub base was utilised by designers to provide greater storage volume.
Since opening it has been stated that only harvested water (from the tanked system) has been used to flush the lavatories.
