We were asked to design and manage a very significant programme of refurbishment and extension works at Athelstan Community Primary School, to provide enhanced facilities for Early Years and 2 Form Entry. Our challenge was to undertake a multi-phased scheme within a live school environment, with minimal disruption to the day to day running of the school. Using our knowledge, industry expertise and through collaborative working with the client and school, our design team developed a detailed schedule of works to allow the school transformation to be undertaken. The greatest benefit to our client was the considerate phasing of the works, which allowed the new facility to be constructed and occupied in phases, releasing areas of the existing school to undertake major refurbishments. The project was delivered within programme, which we believe is in no small part due to the effort that went into the liaison with the stakeholders and careful project and contractor management throughout the duration of the works. The project was delivered from inception to completion by our in-house multi-disciplinary team.
