As the groundworks and construction of the building took place in a live school environment, a significant level of additional planning and scheduling was required. The school is also located in a highly residential area and so ongoing communication with locals played a key part in the successful delivery of the project.
Once construction on the new school building was completed the old building was demolished during school holidays. The footprint of the previous school building was then landscaped, complete with a new play area for pupils.
