Project Completion - Ursuline College, Westgate-on-Sea

Construction work to provide Ursuline College with modern, spacious teaching environments, fully equipped to meet current and future learning and curriculum needs at the College is now complete.

We are very pleased to have worked with our client Kent County Council to deliver a new-build ICT teaching block and undertake a series of refurbishment works at this secondary school in Westgate-on-Sea, Kent.

Having applied the finishing touches to the new ICT block this month, the striking new building provides excellent teaching facilities, including three large classrooms, a server room and accessible bathroom facilities.

Located in a prominent position at the front of the school site, we carefully sequenced the works and utilised a MMC timber frame construction method to aid the programme delivery time and limit the impact of construction activity on site to the staff and students.

In addition to the new build works, we also carried out refurbishment to parts of an existing Grade II listed building and an additional school building to the rear of the site. With these works also complete, they provide an impressive new Learning Resource Centre, administration offices, a kitchen and servery, new science laboratories and general improvements to associated facilities at the school.

“I had the pleasure of spending some time inside our new building today. I cannot tell you how pleased we all are with the finished project. The precision and attention to detail is fantastic and it will make a huge difference to the experience the children have at school.

I wanted also to mention that everyone here has nothing but praise for your colleagues at WW Martin. They have been unfailingly courteous, professional and a pleasure to have with us over recent weeks and months. Please do convey our thanks to them as well.”

Sue Meads, Project Manager, Kent County Council

“Many thanks to all the Team for an impressively managed and executed project on a complex occupied site.

You have all more than earned the praise from the College, and this is echoed by KCC. Please pass on to everyone in the Team how very much their hard work and expertise is appreciated.”
