Challenges

The project required rapid mobilisation and coordination due to the short notice appointment, with all works needing to be completed within a strict 6-week timeframe during the school holidays. This ensured minimal disruption to the academy’s operations. Additionally, integrating new structural installations into the existing building required careful planning and execution.

The end results were met with great satisfaction from both the Client, and the end users. The remodelling has created an enhanced learning environment, allowing freedom of movement, avoiding congestion, and providing inspiring learning spaces.
