Morgan Sindall Awarded £16.9m School Expansion Contract

Morgan Sindall has secured a £16.9 million contract to expand a Redbridge high school.

The project will involve the design and construction of a new building to accommodate 840 additional students at Beal High School in the London Borough of Redbridge.

The mixed community school, which caters for pupils ranging in age from 11 to 18, will be expanded from an eight form entry school to a 12 form entry, with the design and construction of a new building to accommodate Key Stage Three students.

Morgan Sindall and its design partners, DLA Architecture, won the contract to design and construct the building after an extensive eight month consultation with the school and the London Borough of Redbridge. The expansion is being managed by Quantem Consulting LLP.

The new building will comprise general and specialised teaching spaces, a learning resource centre, assembly hall and sports hall and the construction of external hard and soft landscaping.

The new building is aiming for a Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) Excellent rating and includes several sustainable features such as rainwater harvesting, photovoltaic cells, and a combined heat and power (CHP) plant which captures and utilises the heat created by the electricity generation process. By generating heat and power simultaneously, the use of a CHP can reduce carbon emissions by up to 30 per cent compared to conventional heat and power generation via boilers and power stations.

Bob Ensch, area director for Morgan Sindall, said: "We are delighted to have been appointed to this exciting development, which will provide much-needed additional space for students at Beal High School.

"We have enjoyed an extensive consultation with the school and the council during the procurement process and are looking forward to working closely with them, and our design partners DLA Architecture, to deliver this exciting project."
