Delivering the Khalsa Academy, Wolverhampton for the Constructing West Midlands Framework

Описание: Morgan Sindall Construction & Infrastructure has successfully handed over a £19.4 million 53,000 sq ft campus for the Khalsa Academy; a free secondary school governed by the Khalsa Academies Trust in Wolverhampton.

To mark the occasion the school and the Trust arranged an opening ceremony that was attended by over 300 parents, community members, local business and local councillors. The ceremony consisted of prayers, blessings, displays of martial arts and tours of the brand new facilities.

The state-of-the-art campus, located on the former Tarmac Headquarters on Millfields Road, will provide 840 pupils with a cutting-edge learning environment, which also features impressive sports facilities and an auditorium to support an array of extra curriculum activities.

Morgan Sindall Construction & Infrastructure was appointed by Education and Funding Agency (EFA) through the Constructing West Midlands (CWM) Framework to carry out a full refurbishment of an existing four storey building and single storey canteen site. The old units have been overhauled to provide an 8,800 square foot modern dining area and teaching spaces for cookery and music classes.

The works also included treatment of an existing mine shaft and shallow mine workings, as well as associated external works such as road and car parking re-modelling. The completed school features a separate 3,200 square foot sports hall built on a portal steel frame and an all-weather 3G pitch, along with tennis and basketball courts.

The new campus sits on the same site as Wolverhampton Vocational Training Centre; the first free UK school to offer vocational training to students with special educational needs and disabilities, which Morgan Sindall Construction & Infrastructure successfully delivered last year.
