Project insights
There is no doubt that the level of quality of the facilities offered at Newington College can only be described as prestigious so it was nothing short of amazing to be aligned with this project. After taking on the original smaller contract at Wyvern House, we knew we were up for the challenge when the opportunity presented itself to work on the larger Taylor Sports Centre. We were still working on Wyvern House when this second job arose - despite not yet reaching the completion stage of our first contract it showed our previous work had spoken for itself when we were awarded this second contract.
The project presented considerations rather than challenges with the main one being the management of service shutdowns around the day to day workings of the school. Newington College is a live site with over 1300 students present on the 7-12 campus alone. For the college, minimal disruption was crucial, and as such, we committed ourselves to work through the Christmas break when students and teachers weren’t on site in order to achieve this.
The College has an outstanding reputation for both education and amenities, meaning no less than excellence was demanded of the workmanship we had to deliver, This made it a privilege to be able to add Newington to our project portfolio.
