In October, our planning consultants submitted an unprecedented 30 planning applications, with two applications being on behalf of Slough Grammar School to extend & upgrade their facilities. We are appointed by the school to provide a comprehensive multidisciplined service, including acting as planning consultant, architect, project manager, structural engineer, mechanical & electrical engineer and health & safety adviser. 

One of these planning applications was in respect to a six-classroom block, which has been approved and the contractor is on site, working to a 22-week build programme. The second application is for a new 12-classroom block, gymnasium, dining & sixth form facility. This proposal replaces an existing inefficient range of buildings and uses space currently occupied by disused tennis courts. The new facility is designed and organised around an internal street scene, providing break out space, display areas and covered recreational space in wet weather.

We look forward to letting you know more about this scheme in the New Year, including how the latest Building Information Modelling techniques will be used on this project.
