Newark firm secures £38m contracts
Newark modular building firm Caledonian has secured two school projects in quick succession with a total order value of £38m.
Haygrove School and The Sir Frederick Gibberd College were secured by Caledonian under Department for Education (DfE) frameworks.
Caledonian was selected for both projects because it offered a full turnkey package including lead design, planning, and installation, all the way through to hand over.
Caledonian will create a brand new £29m secondary school at the Sir Frederick Gibberd College at the site of the former Passmore School in Harlow, Essex. It will include a 1,200 place secondary school built over three storeys including a school hall, dining hall, drama studio and a 500 place sixth form teaching area as well as sports facilities and all associated external works and pitches.
Work being undertaken at Haygrove School in Bridgwater will involve utilising Caledonian’s component-based school solutions to replace the main school building with modern and efficient teaching environments.
The three-storey building will consist of classrooms, double-height hall and studio spaces, offices, kitchen and associated rooms for educational purposes, along with enabling, groundworks and external works
“Haygrove and SFG are both large projects, which, alongside our other recent new business wins, underpin our future growth strategy,” said Paul Lang, chief executive of Caledonian Modular.
He added: “We have worked closely with the DfE and the schools, as we do on all our education projects, to deliver a modern, efficient teaching spaces that will open up further opportunities for young people in the area.”
