ORGAN Sindall Construction & Infrastructure has handed over a £19.4m 53,000 sqft campus for
refurbishment of an existing four-storey building and single-storey canteen site. The old units have been overhauled to provide an 8,800 sqft 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 sqft sports hall built on a portal steel frame and an all- weather 3G pitch, along with tennis and basketball courts. The academy, which opened in 2015,
had been operating from a temporary base at Parkfield High School, on
Wolverhampton Road East. 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. Nick Singh Kandola, CEO, Khalsa
Academies Trust said: “We have been very impressed by the quality and delivery of the school by Morgan Sindall. It has been a pleasure to work with the local team who have delivered for us.”

LL’s Project and Development Services team has completed a major programme of external
the cloister elevations. Throughout the project, JLL and main
contractors, PAYE, were sensitive to the challenges associated with a restoration project in an active school environment. Simon Yiend, Chief Operating Officer of Dulwich College, commented: “The College has a responsibility to preserve its historic buildings whilst ensuring excellent facilities for future generations of pupils. The work was essential to restore the fabric of the Barry Buildings and ensure their continuing glory for at least another 150 years. JLL successfully managed cost constraints whilst managing the programme within a busy school, and were crucial in procuring the work competitively and ensuring close control of a heritage project that was on budget and on time. The project has been a real success, resulting from excellent
collaboration of the professional teams with the College’s own team.”
