Fulham School Renovations Take Shape

Construction News Image
Two major renovation projects at Fulham schools are beginning to reshape the local area as an exciting hub for STEM subjects.

Contractor Morgan Sindall Construction is working on the schemes at Fulham College Boys' School and Fulham Cross Girls' School.

Both schemes are being delivered for the Department for Education (DfE) under the Southern Construction Framework (SCF), a quality-managed collaborative construction framework for public bodies to procure major building works using a two-stage open book process to deliver best value.

At Fulham Cross Girls' School, the project team has demolished an old 1970s science block and is delivering a state-of-the-art science building and gymnasium with bespoke science labs, staff rooms, offices and a double-height gym.

The main gym will complement the all-weather outdoor facilities, with associated changing rooms, storage facilities and offices, and capacity for a variety of indoor sports including hockey, netball, dance, and rowing machine activity.

Completion was reached on the first phase of works at Fulham College Boys' School in January 2020, which included the construction of a brand new two-storey science block, providing the school with six new teaching labs.

Work has now begun on the second phase of works, which will focus on the extensive refurbishment of the Grade II listed Kingwood building in order enhance teaching provisions for the school’s transition to a Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) specialist academy.

Both projects saw the use of temporary modular classrooms to house students away from the works in order to minimise disruption as much as possible to the overall learning environment.

Richard Dobson, Morgan Sindall Construction area director for London, said: "We are proud to be working closely with the Department for Education on both Fulham Cross Girls' School and Fulham College Boys' School on this series of important projects, helping to reshape the local area into a hub of excellence for STEM subjects.

"Morgan Sindall Construction is dedicated to strengthening the communities that sit at the heart of its projects, and we are pleased to have been able to offer six apprenticeships and eight summer placements across the two sites."

The second phase of works at Fulham College Boys' School will be complete by Spring 2021, with the Fulham College Girls' School new block expected to be handed over in Spring 2020.
