illmott Dixon has appointed REL Building Services to deliver an M&E
package as part of a £20m project to refurbish and expand a secondary school in Romford, Essex.
The contract will require building services to be sensitively designed and installed within a Grade II listed building at Royal Liberty School. The project will also see REL provide M&E solutions for new facilities, including a food technology room, extra science laboratory, additional classroom space, a larger canteen, and a separate external sports hall.

It requires a carefully modelled M&E solution featuring the latest energy-saving technology and a skilled installation to ensure modern services don’t alter the property’s original fabric or features.” The contract follows the success of Romford’s flagship Sapphire Ice Rink and Swimming Pool, which opened in 2018.
