The project consisted of demolition, re-modelling, refurbishment and new build construction works of Oxford High School. The demanding site location and need for multiple phased handovers required close and thorough management and coordination to execute the works. The occupied areas of the private girl’s school remained fully operational throughout the development programme.
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 colour insulated render and glazed curtain walling.
This BREEAM ‘Very Good’ rated building incorporated sustainable design philosophy such as photovoltaic panels, a sedum roof and rainwater harvesting.
