R
located on a site previously occupied by the East Dulwich Community Hospital and accommodate up to 1,680 pupils aged 11 to 19 and more than 180 teachers and support staff. A new community health centre is also planned on the same land. Designed by FCB Studios, the school
will comprise a teaching block with specialist facilities designed for the study of subjects such as science, design technology, art and design and physical education to A-level. There will also be a sports hall and multi-use games areas. REL will be responsible for all the
electrical works including mains distribution, data, fire alarms, CCTV, and access. The project will need to be delivered within 10 months, ready for
handover in August 2018 before the start of the school year. Toby Buckley, REL’s managing director
said: “This is a large electrical contract which needs to be delivered within a tight timeframe. This will be achieved by working in close collaboration with the wider project team and from a much earlier stage to help streamline processes and the wider construction
programme. This early engagement will ensure that any potential issues are ironed out from the outset, so that we can work more productively as the job progresses.”
