Work Begins On New Building And Campus Design In Bournemouth
Construction has commenced on a new building and campus design for the 900-place Oak Academy in Bournemouth.
The Department for Education, Ambitions Academies Trust and Kier hosted a ground breaking ceremony to mark the start of work, which will see the existing buildings replaced and a more concise and efficient layout delivered. The new design will provide a variety of learning spaces, including science and technology classrooms and improved facilities to cover sport, music, drama and SEND provision.
Oak Academy forms part of the Ambitions Academies Trust, a multi-academy trust serving schools in or close to the Bournemouth and Weymouth areas. The school will be net zero carbon in operation, in line with the DfE’s latest output specification requirements, and will be thermally efficient due to the use of air source heat pump technology and a full bio-solar roof incorporating photovoltaic panels.
The campus has been designed using Kier's kSchool design platform and Kier has committed to providing support to the school throughout the design, build, handover and post-occupancy stages of the project.
