Offsite specialist contractor M-AR is working to deliver the Little Ilford secondary school in Newham, one of its largest education projects to date<\/h2>\n

The London Borough of Newham has experienced rapid population growth over the last ten years, meaning that demand for secondary school places within Newham is forecasted to increase significantly over the next five years.<\/p>\n

Little Ilford School, therefore, needed to be able to accommodate a larger intake of students very shortly, so a large new block with more facilities has been designed to sit adjacent to the existing school building within its grounds.<\/p>\n

Little Ilford secondary school is being built using a hybrid offsite approach<\/h3>\n

The large new block, which will soon be complete and ready for teachers and students to move into, includes several new classrooms and connecting corridors, a SEND block, an activity studio and a new underground car park area complete with several electric car charging points and PV panels.<\/p>\n

There was no room to extend the footprint of the site itself, meaning that the new block had to take up part of the school\u2019s existing car park. With parking at a premium in the area, this had to be maintained, which meant sinking the car park underground and building the new school block built directly above.<\/p>\n

Showcasing the benefits of offsite for the education sector<\/h3>\n

As this is an extension project, the school remained open throughout the project. Hence, it was vital to keep disruption to a minimum and follow strict safeguarding regulations to keep everyone safe.<\/p>\n

Taking a proportion of the build offsite and into M-AR\u2019s factory<\/a> reduced both the time spent on site and the sheer number of tradespeople required on-site at any one time too.<\/p>\n

Challenges of the project were met by using a collaborative approach<\/h3>\n

Ryan Geldard, director at M-AR<\/a> said: \u201cThis is our largest education project to date and has not been without its challenges due to the constraints of the site and surrounding areas. But by taking a collaborative approach with everyone involved, we\u2019ve been able to meet the challenges safely and efficiently head on by developing each separate module for ease of manufacture, delivery and installation from the outset.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s great to see the new school block taking shape and we\u2019re looking forward to seeing the staff and students making the most of their new space once the project completes.\u201d<\/p>\n
