Education Projects In Both the State and Private Sector

We have extensive experience working across the education sector from new build primary schools to the refurbishment of colleges and secondary schools in both the state and private sector. We have completed multiple projects for the Oxford Diocese, Oxford University and are proud to be trusted and regularly consulted by several local authorities.

Our experience is not limited to functional education buildings, we have a broad knowledge base and have worked on multi-use games areas (MUGAs), student accommodation and framed auditoria. Many of the educational projects we have worked on have included refurbishment and remedial work on listed buildings which require special consideration and an appreciation of traditional building techniques. We have also completed several projects ensuring a new build or extension reflects the look and feel of the existing historic buildings and design solutions for unique elements such as arch windows and brick slip lintels.

Helping Schools Plan For Changes

Our understanding of the education sector as a unique environment allows for sensitivity to the fact that schools are essentially confined spaces for vulnerable people. We recognise that work needs to be completed within given timescales and our use of technology enables us to deliver multiple solutions in a dramatically reduced timeframe as well as a successful build with minimal disruption.

To help schools plan for changes as long-term solutions we can also look at creating flexible solutions for existing buildings with access, refurbishment or the addition of movable partitions.
