Phoenix Integrated Primary School stands as an inspiration of progressive education and sustainable construction in Northern Ireland.

Completed in August 2024, this state-of-the-art facility was developed under the Fresh Start Programme with funding support from the UK Government. The £7.3 million project will provide a new seven class-base school and single nursery unit accommodating over 200 pupils.

AG’s Woodward Facing Brick played a central role in bringing the school’s contemporary design to life. Delivering a transformative space designed to inspire students and support staff in a modern, inclusive environment.

Woodward brick’s mix technology ensures long-term resistance to fading is guaranteed, contributing on the visual appeal and structural reliability of the building. The advanced concrete technology of Enduur 1 used within Woodward product mix are engineered to deliver an impressive range of product enhancements, from increased strength, durability, and UV resistance to a lower carbon footprint and advanced hydrophobic performance.

Sustainability was a key priority throughout the project. AG’s Woodward Facing Brick is responsibly manufactured using cutting-edge low-energy production techniques achieving a significant reduction in the products embodied carbon. Our Woodward Smooth Brick Range features nearly 46% less embodied carbon per square meter, than the industry norm, clay brick, making it the ideal choice for sustainable construction.
