Keane Grace Wallis Bennet
On 1 April 2014, shortly after 10 a.m., Keane Wallis-Bennett, a 12 year old girl died whilst changing for a gym class at Liberton High School, Edinburgh, Scotland. A prefabricated wall in the middle of the changing room collapsed and, unlike the other girls, Wallis-Bennett was not fast enough jumping out of the way. The purpose of the free-standing wall was to provide privacy whilst changing and showering. Pupils at the school had complained about the wall being unstable some months before, but nothing had been done. Surveyors had not identified the wall as needing repairs. At least 13 schools were subsequently identified as having similar walls. There had been other problems with the buildings at Liberton High School. In December 2011, a 15-year-old student was injured after falling down a lift shaft. Wallis-Bennett's funeral was held at Mortonhall Crematorium. British prime minister, David Cameron David William Donald Cameron (born 9 October 1966) is a British former pol ...

Prefabrication
Prefabrication is the practice of assembling components of a structure in a factory or other manufacturing site, and transporting complete assemblies or sub-assemblies to the construction site where the structure is to be located. The term is used to distinguish this process from the more conventional construction practice of transporting the basic materials to the construction site where all assembly is carried out. The term ''prefabrication'' also applies to the manufacturing of things other than structures at a fixed site. It is frequently used when fabrication of a section of a machine or any movable structure is shifted from the main manufacturing site to another location, and the section is supplied assembled and ready to fit. It is not generally used to refer to electrical or electronic components of a machine, or mechanical parts such as pumps, gearboxes and compressors which are usually supplied as separate items, but to sections of the body of the machine which in the ...

Mortonhall Crematorium
The Mortonhall Crematorium is a multi-denominational crematorium in Edinburgh, Scotland. It is an example of Basil Spence's post-war expressionist style. Opened in 1967, the crematorium is set in mature woodland and is a Category A listed building. A walled memorial garden opened there in December 2015. Design Architects Spence, Glover and Ferguson were commissioned by Edinburgh City Council in 1960 to build a new multi-denominational crematorium. The project is a smaller and more refined version of Spence's earlier project at Coventry Cathedral. The project architect was John 'Archie' Dewar. The City of Edinburgh also had architect Alexander Steele work on the project. The crematorium design was published in the ''Architects' Journal'' in May 1962. The main chapel has seating for 250 people and the smaller Pentland Chapel seats 50. The main chapel was built at an angle that could maximise the natural light. The windows are tall, glazed slits. The walls are constructed from ...
