Conlon Construction and Cassidy + Ashton completes multi-million pound expansion at Highfurlong School Highfurlong School, an award-winning Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) school in Blackpool, has officially completed a multi-million-pound expansion project. Featuring a state-of-the-art hydrotherapy suite, the project included the construction of a new building to help manage the growing demand for SEND places at the school. Designed by Cassidy + Ashton and built by Conlon Construction, the project was carried out over two phases and represents a significant investment in education and community services for the Blackpool, Wyre and Fylde Coast areas. Phase one of the project was funded by government funding for new school places and SEND. The £4.8m new building doubles the school’s capacity to 180 students, reducing the need to use out-of-borough placements. The new building which connects to the existing school via a covered walkway, includes a specialist teaching room for the delivery of subjects such as science, food technology and life skills. A £2m phase two created a hydrotherapy suite designed to provide children a sensory-rich experience. The suite features a deck-access pool, customisable lighting, a projector, fibre optic art ceiling and a specialised hoist. Designed for dual-purpose use, the therapy pool is also available to community groups outside of school hours and includes features to enable future expansion of an additional storey if needed. https://lnkd.in/eaeusP3h

Clegg Construction have begun work to deliver a 420-pupil primary school near Burton upon Trent! “Drakelow Primary School – the latest in a long line of educational establishments to be delivered by Clegg Construction - will be sustainably located at the heart of a 2,200-home residential estate currently under construction by client Countryside Partnerships on the former Drakelow power station site. Designed by multi-disciplinary consultants ONE Creative environments (ONE) , the new school’s indoor and outdoor areas will maximise the learning experience, with classrooms flowing onto outdoor teaching spaces to allow for integration of inside and outside teaching. New sports facilities, including a 3G pitch, will be included, as well as a habitat area to provide forest school experiences. The building’s heating capacity will be met by externally mounted air source heat pumps and the school will benefit from underfloor heating fed from a low-temperature hot water system from the central heat pump plant.” Michael Moore, operations director at Countryside Partnerships, said: “Having worked together to develop the reserved matters application for Drakelow Primary School, we are pleased to?appoint Clegg Construction for the delivery phase of this exciting project. “The new building will be a valuable addition to the Drakelow development, providing a modern, sustainable and attractive environment in which students can learn and thrive.” ?? ??

BD helps rural communities explore ways to maximize resources and save money on new school construction. While remodeling and adding onto school facilities are often the first option, converting existing buildings into new schools can also be a budget saver. Australia has creatively repurposed existing spaces, creating modern, multi-story classrooms and facilities. This innovative approach used “Down Under” and on the plains of America not only reduces construction costs but also gives buildings a new purpose, preventing them from going to waste. https://lnkd.in/g7_X-QJm

"Living through a construction project, whether at home or in our schools, can be challenging. In Worthington, we’re experiencing this firsthand with the construction of our two high schools. While it may feel like a bit of a pain now, it’s all about creating the best possible environment for our students and staff in the long run." Read more about the district construction projects in the latest blog post from Superintendent Trent Bowers. #ItsWorthIt
