Work Complete On New Primary School In Poole
Morgan Sindall has completed work on a new primary school in Waterloo Estate, Poole.
The keys to the new two-storey Hillbourne Primary School have been officially handed over by the contractor to the school with pupils and staff moving into their new surroundings from the beginning of November.
As part of BCP Council's plans to develop the site, the new school replaces the existing school buildings on the site at Kitchener Crescent. In turn, the location of the new school building means that surplus land to the north and south will be available for the development of new homes once the existing buildings have been demolished in the second phase of the project.
The demolition of the existing buildings will facilitate the completion of the external areas and all works will be complete in April 2022.
The new school includes the following facilities:
• A modern fit-for purpose building with 14 classrooms, a practical room and learning resource centre
• Administration block
• Large hall with servery
• A pre-school with a dedicated play area
• Two multi-use games areas and outdoor play areas
• Purpose-built sports pitch
• A secure staff car park
• Solar panels, mechanical ventilation in all classrooms, sprinkler system and intelligent lighting.
Morgan Sindall Construction was appointed to the scheme via the Southern Construction Framework (SCF), a quality-managed construction framework for public bodies in the region to procure major building works that has developed unique integrated team approach. The framework governs the procurement of a full spectrum of new build and refurbishment schemes in education, health and community. These includes libraries, civic office developments, programmes for police and fire authorities, and leisure and sports facilities.
Clifford Kinch, Area Director for Morgan Sindall Construction in the South said: "We're so proud to be handing over the keys to Hillbourne Primary School which will provide exciting new modern teaching facilities for the local area. Creating inspiring educational spaces is a key part of what we do, and we hope the staff, pupils and parents at Hillbourne enjoy their new environment. We've enjoyed working collaboratively with BCP Council throughout this project and we look forward to working with them in the final stages."
