This is BAM’s fifth scheme this year under the academies framework.
The £11.5m Plymouth project involves demolition of buildings from the 1960s and ’70s and providing 4200 sq m of new build. In addition, the 1980s east wing building will be remodelled and refurbished. There will also be extensive landscaping and provision of new sports facilities.
BAM Construction area manager Graham Kingdon said: “We are very pleased to have been awarded preferred bidder on this contract, particularly after also winning the preferred bidder on Plymouth UTC and the Marine Academy Plymouth. Winning these contracts has been a key target for us as we want to invest in Plymouth as many of our staff and supply chain partners live and work in the area. We see Plymouth as an up and coming city and an important place to be doing business. This is why we have targeted these contracts and have worked extremely hard to offer the city extremely good value for money.”
Other recent school building contracts for Bam includeKings Science Academy in Bradford, Kearsley Academy in Bolton, Aylesbury Vale Academy in Bucks, and Hackney UTC in London.
