Education

The public and private investment in the fabric of our educational establishments has allowed us to develop strong experience in the provision of new-build and refurbishment at all levels from nurseries through primary and secondary schools to colleges and universities.

These projects involve extensions, general classrooms, lecture theatres, scientific research units and sports halls. Specific examples include:

• Highams Park and Hampstead Schools: New buildings
• Central Foundation School: Extensive space conversion
• Shaftesbury School: Multi-purpose extension
• Canon Palmer and Whitehall Schools: Facilities improvement
• School of Pharmacy: 6-storey extension, labs and offices
• Royal Veterinary College: Teaching, diagnostics and offices
• University College London (UCL): Various over 25 years

Health and safety is a major consideration across all construction sites. However, there is increased importance within the Education sector where security and student curiosity are further factors. We implement practical safety measures to prevent witting and unwitting access to the construction areas. To highlight the inherent dangers we provide safety literature or briefings for students and staff. All staff attached to our education projects must pass the required vetting procedures such as CRB checks and are issued with appropriate means of identification.

Ultimately, education concerns the future. So our involvement continues beyond the building process with a willingness to put arrangements in place to offer work experience and career advice within the construction industry.
