Elliott Off-Site to Extend Classroom Block at Bushmead Primary School in Luton

February 2012

Elliott Off-Site Building Solutions has been commissioned by Luton Borough Council to design and build a new two-storey classroom extension to an existing building at Bushmead Primary School that was constructed by the division in 1999 (see image). Elliott Off-Site is able to utilise their existing knowledge of the method and detail of construction of the existing building to ensure a seamless and high quality two-storey classroom extension is achieved for the Council.

The two-storey extension will provide a further 6-classroom spaces, a group teaching room, refurbished toilets and a new glazed link to another classroom block. In addition, the works will include additional capacity to the existing gas fired heating system for the school.

The building will be constructed using the same method of construction for the existing building uprated to comply with current Building Regulations. The external walls will be fair-faced brickwork to blend with the existing colour and windows will be white UPVC. The pitched roof will include Marley concrete roof tiles, again to match the existing building.

The project is scheduled to take 24 weeks and is due to start on site in March 2012 with completion in mid-august in preparation for the new September school year.
