The project comprises the demolition of a neighbouring bungalow and construction of a standalone block to convert Gt Kimble Infant School to a primary school.

 

The new block provides 2 additional classrooms, a new main hall and associated accommodation together with external works on a sloping site. 
The compact design was developed in close consultation with all stakeholders.

 

The planning process was sensitive with the site being in Green Belt and AONB.

​

Following appointment, we identified a number of areas in the procured feasibility study proposals where we could improve the organisation, buildability / cost and design aesthetics.

​

• Appointed following a competitive tender.

• Prepared concept studies based on previous viability study.

• Small, tight site in Green Belt and AONB, with complex levels.

• Managed stakeholder consultations Bucks CC Project Officer, School representatives and local residents and parents.

• Managed tender and selection process for main contractor.

• Managed the team through production, tender and construction stages.

​

The new accommodation comprises:

​

• 2 KS 2 classrooms with cloaks areas

• New School Hall / Dining

• Kitchen

• Pupil toilets

• External learning space

 

The design benefits from attention to detail internally and externally

in particular with some intricate brick detailing.
