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 roof parapets now formed and roof coverings being installed. The external walls are taking shape, while internally, screeding is complete and work is underway on internal walls and mechanical services.

The next stage will see internal works continue, alongside mechanical and electrical installations. Externally, windows and curtain walling will be installed once the wall framing and boarding are complete, with brickwork following shortly afterwards.
