Woodlands School, Essex

Client: Essex County Council & Skanska Building

The Project:

The main school building at Woodlands School opened at the beginning of 2014 with the old school buildings being subsequently demolished. The Oakenwoods team involvement was to construct new build facility. The additional building is a single storey block accommodating three separate departments. It has separate entrances for the Construction Workshop, Hair and Beauty studios and the Behaviour for Learning suites. The Construction Workshop has separate changing and WC accommodation and is well placed for access from the Design & Technology facilities in the main building.

Oakenwoods successfully handed over the completed building to a very high standard, ahead of time, within budget and to a challenging programme period of approximately 14 weeks from start to finish.
