Education    

We have been appointed on projects covering the full education spectrum including Nursery facilities, Junior and Secondary Schools, Higher Education facilities and Universities. Clients include both public and private sector, operating through single projects, framework agreements and the other procurement routes.

 

Projects recently carried out for a number of Local Authorities via framework agreements include new build schools and extensions of various sizes and complexity to primary, junior and secondary schools. Similar projects have also been commissioned by prominent colleges, further education facilities and Universities, including multi-purpose gymnasium structures. Student Accommodation facilities have also been commissioned either directly via the educational establishment or via third parties.

 

On all projects in this sector our structural design will endeavor to minimize disruption to educational activities whilst maintaining the welfare of students in adjacent areas, and also give consideration to program and budgetary restraints.

Examples of completed projects are detailed below . . . . whilst a detailed list of our client portfolio can be viewed here.
