Description

We are appointed to deliver the construction of a new standalone sixth form building at Sir Geoffrey Leigh Academy in Dartford, Kent, on behalf of Kent County Council.

The project comprises a two-storey, free-standing new build block designed to support the academy’s 2FE expansion and provide dedicated accommodation for sixth form teaching and social spaces. The development has been progressed through RIBA Stage 4, with planning approval in place.

The new facility will include a range of modern teaching spaces alongside a sixth form social area incorporating a dedicated grab-and-go servery. External works form an integral part of the scheme, including adaptations to the surrounding areas and the creation of improved pedestrian routes linking the new building to the main school facilities.

Construction is progressing well, with the main steel frame now complete and precast hollow-core slabs installed at first-floor and roof level. We are currently progressing the installation of structural toppings to these areas, alongside below-ground drainage works and the formation of the ground-floor slab.

Following completion of these works, the project will move into the next phase, with façade and roofing installations commencing.
