Bushfield Academy, Peterborough, United Kingdom
Client: Peterborough City Council
We secured a contract to deliver a new multi-million pound academy in Peterborough. We provided project management, cost consultancy and technical advisor services in collaboration with Parsons Brinkerhoff which is acting as client design champions providing Architectural, structural and service engineering expertise.
The academy is being built on the existing playing fields at Bushfield Community College in the village of Orton Goldhay in close proximity to the existing Sports Hall which will be retained, extended and refurbished to provide shared sports facility with the local community. The project also includes an all-weather pitch and a joint use community library together with and early years centre and young person’s facilities.
Work on the new development began in 2010 and will be completed for 2012. The existing college was demolished and the new facilities will accommodate 950 students, aged between 11 and 18. The academy is being procured through the Partnership for Schools framework as one of three batched schools; the other two coming on stream in 2013 making the total capital investment close to £100 million.
