Phased works on a constrained, fully operational school site.
Piled foundations and steel frame with mixed external finishes.
Sustainable features including PV panels, sedum roof and rainwater harvesting.
Close coordination required due to site and handover complexity.

This project consisted of the demolition, re-modeling, refurbishment and new build construction works to Oxford High School.

The demanding site location and need for
multiple phased hand-overs required close and thorough management and co-ordination to execute the works.

Construction methods included piled
foundations, structural steel frame and external envelope materials from a wide range of products including, stone, facing brickwork, timber cladding, through color insulated render and glazed curtain walling.

This BREEAM rated building incorporated
sustainable design philosophy such as
photovoltaic panels, a sedum roof and rain water harvesting.
