The Brief

With the school nearing student capacity, and with the ongoing government guidance to keep different school bubbles from socialising. There was a requirement to provide a new 6th form block to allow the 6th form students a brand-new facility, to study and learn in.

The Solution

The Qube were initially called out to site to investigate reconfiguring some of the existing internal layouts, to make better use of the space. Due to the yearly student influx and the need to keep the existing school layout the same, the Qube investigated the possibility of constructing a new modular build within the school’s green space. Space was tight, with major differences in levels across the external areas. However, with the use of an innovative foundation system and careful planning and implementation, the Qube were able to build an impressive 6th form block whilst complying with the school’s health and safety procedures, to maintain a managed segregation between construction activities and school activities.

The Outcome

Sally O’Conner, Headteacher, On Track Education –

‘A friend of mine told me about The Qube and the works they did for her school. From the initial conversation through to the preliminary onsite conversations and inspections and then proposing a new scheme they were there to help. All the team were very helpful during the process and even went to the lengths of contacting my external contractors to ensure they had planned in the works we were due to undertake once the Qube had completed. Very happy to recommend. I genuinely don’t think you’ll find a better, more personal service.’
