£2m School Extension Project Complete In Birmingham

Construction News Image
A £2 million extension project has been completed at Hamilton School near Birmingham.

The project was delivered by Morgan Sindall as part of the £44.5 million Constructing West Midlands (CWM) framework.

The new two-storey 12,000 sq ft annexe increases the total number of available school places to 110 and provides four new classrooms, a new sensory room, a small group teaching room, toilets and a staff room.

Works included demolishing part of the rear of the school and installing a glazed corridor, linking the existing building to the new unit. In addition, a new external courtyard was built, and the staff car park and outdoor play area was expanded.

The completion marks the ninth school to be delivered under the CWM framework.

Dave Kelly, CWM framework manager for Morgan Sindall, said: "The challenging economic climate and uncertainty in the construction sector means that the role of frameworks has never been more important.

"We're proud of the part we have played in establishing the CWM framework as a stand-out example of what can be achieved through efficient and collaborative procurement. This latest batch of successfully delivered schools is testament to the kind of public sector projects Morgan Sindall has built a reputation delivering."

The nine completed schools are:

• The Oaks School

• Perry Beeches V

• Cherry Oak School

• Paganel School

• Baskerville School

• Dame Ellen Primary School

• The Pines School

• Rednal Hill School

• Hamilton School
