The Consortium of Local Authorities Special Programme (abbreviated and more commonly referred to as CLASP ) was formed in England in 1957 to combine the resources of Local Authorities with the purpose of developing a prefabricated school building programme. Initially developed by Charles Herbert Aslin , the county architect for Hertfordshire , the system was used as a model for several other counties, most notably Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire . CLASP's popularity in these coal mining areas was in part because the system permitted fairly straightforward replacement of subsidence-damaged sections of building.

494-492: The cost for a new build, a factor which is never taken into consideration is the environmental damage caused by removing one building, and using up precious resources to build another. There must be a strong business case to justify why the environmental aspect of demolish and rebuild is ignored when it comes to modernising assets. Around 3,000 CLASP buildings are still in use across Britain. Since they were built using asbestos, including as fire-proofing on structural columns and as

It is these design fundamentals of CLASP that can allow buildings to last over a hundred years. A report commissioned by Nottinghamshire County Council in 2008 stated it is far more efficient and environmentally friendly to modernise CLASP buildings than to knock down and replace them. When costings for repairs of CLASP buildings match or exceed

In addition to schools, the CLASP system was also used in
624-439: The system was also used to provide offices and housing. A later development was known as SCOLA (Second Consortium of Local Authorities) and MACE (Metropolitan Architectural Consortium for Education). The cynics' definition of the CLASP acronym, circulating in the 1970s, was "collection of loosely assembled steel parts". CLASP buildings fell out of favour in the late 1970s. Budgetary advances and changing architectural tastes made
650-635: The years to CLASP buildings to modernise the buildings fabric and increase energy efficiencies. Such projects involve re-roofing work which can increase energy efficiencies, re-cladding or painting the external skin of the building to give a modern look, replacement of sky lights and atriums with double glazing solar reduction glass and internal refits where additional insulation is added when internal rooms are renovated. Internal renovations can include new carpets, new ceiling tiles, efficient LED lighting and smart building management system controls. The structural integrity of CLASP buildings are strong and robust,
