Contractor named for £5m Derby school
Morgan Sindall has been appointed to build a new primary school and nursery in Derby, which will provide more space for more than 200 children.
Based on Radbourne Lane, Hackwood Primary will be a Sunesis Mosaic model, delivered through the Scape Venture framework. The £5m project is the largest to be delivered through the framework.
Derby City Council has commissioned the 14,000 sq ft school in collaboration with residential developers Redrow Homes East Midlands and Miller Homes, which are funding the project as part of their plans to build more than 700 new homes on the neighbouring Hackwood Farm estate.
The school, designed by Lungfish Architects, will house six classrooms and a 26-place nursery.
Pick Everard is providing project management and quantity surveying services for the project.
Work is scheduled to start in January and the project is expected to complete in time for the new academic year in September 2019.
Rob Cant, framework director at Morgan Sindall Construction & Infrastructure in the Midlands, said: “Innovative framework procurement options offer long-term social value for councils and the communities they serve. We are pleased to be delivering the new, first class education facilities at Hackwood Primary School as part of Scape’s Venture framework.”
