The Project

Following a fire which devastated school buildings at Selsey Academy, temporary buildings were required to ensure pupils could be back to education as-soon-as possible.

The temporary buildings were established in just seven and a half weeks.  The 117 units were able to provide a temporary education establishment comprising a school hall, dining hall, library, IT suites, standard classrooms, science labs, washroom facilities and canteen.

Tom Garfield, head teacher of the academy, said: “We were absolutely delighted to see the first temporary school buildings arrive on site. We were in a position where just 44 days after the disaster where we were able to resume educating the community’s children once again.”

Scope:

  • Excavation and site clearance
  • Ground investigation
  • Drainage
  • Raised levels for roadway
  • Building installation
  • Accessibility ramps
