Morgan Sindall will lead new build and refurbishment works at a school in Rochdale.
by Rory Butler / January 12, 2023
The firm will replace outdated facilities at Newhouse Academy with backing from the Department for Education (DfE).
The DfE’s School Rebuilding Programme will see improvements made to 500 school and sixth form colleges across England over the next decade.
| New two-storey building (16,100 sqm) | Construction and DT workshops |
| Four-court sports hall | Dining hall |
| Activity studio | Fitness studio |
| Drama studio | Music rooms |
| Main hall | Science labs |
| Changing rooms | Graphics room |
The rear of the existing main school building dates from the 1960s and will be demolished, with the water tank and substation block being refurbished.
The new building will be net zero in operation, with CarboniCa, Morgan Sindall’s in-house developed, digital carbon reduction tool driving that process.
