Interserve, in consortium with long-standing Northern Ireland building partner O'Hare & McGovern, has reached financial close on the contract and work is now beginning, with both schools becoming fully operational in the 2010/2011 academic year.
Interserve has also won a contract worth over £20 million to design and construct a new school on land adjacent to the current premises. Like the existing school this will be a specialist arts college and will cater for 1,200 pupils form the ages of 11-18. In addition to cutting-edge interactive equipment, ICT and science facilities it will include a purpose-built performance arts centre, state-of-the-art CAD/CAM equipment, two modern teaching kitchens, a sports hall with electronic scoring systems, a fitness suite and a synthetic sports pitch. The school is due to be ready for use at the start of the autumn term in 2010.
