PUPILS at St Dunstan’s School, Glastonbury, have marked a significant step in eco-building by burying a time capsule on the site of their new Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) base….

The ASC building is a project by Futures for Somerset, a partnership which includes Somerset County Council and BAM Construct.

It will cost £1.53million [$1.82M], is being built by C. G. Fry and is scheduled to be completed by June 2023 ready for the start of the academic year in September. It will cater for up to 16 pupils….

Headteacher Sally Allen said: “Creating a time capsule is brilliant for children learning about the history of their local area….
