Morgan Sindall has begun work on a £3.3 million extension project at The Perse Upper School in Cambridge.
The new build development comprises the construction of a three-storey block with a number of associated external works. Due to complete in the summer of 2014, the new building will significantly expand the school and provide new teaching and classroom facilities for staff and pupils.
Morgan Sindall will construct the building using a traditional concrete frame and a combination of pre-aged zinc cladding, glass curtain walling and render. The building will be joined to an existing part of the school by an interconnecting covered footbridge built to the first floor.
As the project team is working on a busy school site, hoardings have been put into place to ensure that the building works are segregated and that there is minimal disruption to the children's learning environment.
Bob Ensch, Morgan Sindall area director, said: "The new building will bring a wealth of benefits to both pupils and staff at The Perse Upper School and will provide an excellent learning environment for years to come."
