Extensions Project

This expanding school was struggling for capacity and needed existing teaching spaces arranging more efficiently, alongside the construction of several smaller extensions and one standalone two classroom + washroom building to facilitate increasing student numbers.

• School was live throughout the project which we had to proficiently plan works around to ensure minimal impact to the school/ that we were in tune with the school environment:
• The school had a 2 classroom slack which allowed us to phase works to allow them to maintain full teaching capacity.
• Phased/ timed works so that the playing field was out of use when not needed and back in use for the summer.
• Timing of noisy works and deliveries around school occupation/ student and staff flows around site.
• Project was delivered during COVID so we had to undertake with the standard restrictions in place while also ensuring that we allowed contingency in timescales for material and labour shortages that were commonplace at the time.

• PCI Ltd undertook all construction works involved in this project – key features include:
• Construction of a flat roofed two classroom brick and block extension and several other WC block extensions.
• Reconfiguration of existing classroom spaces to create larger/ better learning spaces out of the existing space.
• Hard landscaping of external areas creating a nursery outside play area with canopy coverage.
• All internal and external finishes and M+E.
