City of Wolverhampton College
Wolverhampton
Morgan Ashurst
Winning the bid with construction company Morgan Ashurst was based on our ability to consider the existing facilities of The City of Wolverhampton College, work to a carefully targeted programme, and deliver the buildings in accordance with the college’s objectives and term times.
Demolitions and migration of existing facilities took place to make available the area for new buildings, and subsequent construction took place within the existing and operational campus, requiring particularly careful and considered planning.
A key element was delivering the nursery as early as possible to allow them access earlier in the process. This was advantageous financially but also beneficial for health & safety too, with the existing nursery continuing to operate with no down-time.
The Civil Engineering block was also operational until decant. The team worked in close liaison with client and college representatives to ensure that existing construction students would be allowed to view and access, when possible, the live site as part of their studies, it was utilised as part of the curriculum for part of the year.
The client felt that our response addressed the aspirations the College had for the site and was commercially viable, whilst also taking into consideration the health & safety issues with existing students being based on site.
