BPG were commissioned by Diamond Ltd to act as lead consultant and Architects for this extensive phased refurbishment and expansion scheme that were part of a framework with the London Borough of Haringey.
The scheme at an existing school including substantial refurbishment works along with the construction of new build elements – including six new classrooms, a new hall, office, kitchen and ancillary provisions – that achieved BREEAM very good rating. Works involved the demolition of elements of the existing school for the provision of a new nursery classroom. The scheme included M&E service upgrades, new kitchen fit-out, window replacement works along with substantial external playground works – including new tensile canopies, play moulds and play areas, new fencing along with other areas of new soft and hard landscaping.
The discovery of an unknown water mains pipe onsite resulted in the need for a collaborative design team solution to resolve the unforeseen issue.
A phased development scheme enabled works to be completed while the school remained fully operational, maximising the use of school holidays.
