STEM Centre at Brougham Hayes

Plan for new Science Building on track for September Opening

We are very pleased to inform the whole School community that planning permission has been granted for the new Science Building. The building contractors, Deeks and Steere plc, will commence setting up on site on Monday 30th January 2012. If all goes to plan, and subject to the vagaries of the weather, the building will be completed for the start of the new academic year in September 2012. We should all hope that February proves to be mild!

A time lapse camera will be installed on the front of the Brougham Hayes building so that we can monitor progress of the development. Some PE and Sport lessons for Years 7 and 8 will take place in the new facilities on the Upper Oldfield Park Campus and buses will be provided during the winter months for students.

There will be minimal disruption during works as the site compound will be confined to the tennis court area. Students will continue to have access to the playing field area and upper terrace although at times it may be necessary to restrict this for installation of the electricity supply; we will let you know when. The landscaping is planned to take place during the summer vacation.
