Spencer ECA is delighted to report that its involvement with the landmark Brynhoffnant area schools project, has recently been expanded.
Having started in June 2011, the project is part of a £5,000,000 scheme that involves the re-organisation of four schools in the area surrounding Brynhoffnant. The aim is to provide a 21st century quality learning environment for children in Ceredigion, which culminates in the new building being ready for the next school year starting September 2012.
Building the school on behalf of the Welsh Government, management contractors Vinci – one of the world’s largest concession and construction groups – initially engaged Spencer to carry out the external boundary work. This involved clearance of the associated areas, the erection of walls, planting of hedges and the building of an access path from the public road to the school premises.
Having successfully completed this work, Vinci has now contracted Spencer to carry out more jobs, including: the installation of timber roof structure and the fitting of the slates, plus the installation of the windows and frames. Following on from this, Spencer hopes that further work may be offered, enabling it to provide some if its additional services, such as: landscaping, fence erecting and sports field construction.
On gaining the additional work Jason Ludgate, Spencer’s Construction Manager, who is heading up the project for the company said: “So far everything has gone very well for us, so I am delighted that we will be continuing to work with Vinci on this major project for the area. It also means that we will be bringing additional staff onto the site to fulfil the requirements and ensure that, as usual, our work is carried out on time and on budget.”
Once completed, the school will provide specialist teaching facilities for art, technology and food technology and include a Special Educational Needs Unit. It will also feature the latest IT equipment, with a wireless system and interactive whiteboards in every classroom.
Even the building itself will become a tool for teaching, with pupils able to monitor the energy use of its environmentally-friendly features, such as rainwater harvesting and ground source heating.
