The 2015 earthquakes in Nepal damaged 200 of the 350 schools supported by the Australian Himalayan Foundation (AHF). TTW engineers and architect Ken McBryde designed an innovative lightweight earthquake resistant classroom structure using a prefabricated kit of parts made of cold-formed steel, with construction of 20 classrooms now complete.
