This project will include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Refurbishment of part of the existing teaching block<\/li>\n<li>Construction of a new two-storey, net zero science block<\/li>\n<li>A new artificial sports pitch<\/li>\n<li>Conversion of an existing building for sports and physical education use<\/li>\n<li>Reconfiguration of teaching spaces to grow from a six to an eight-form entry school, including additional art and music classrooms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Another aspect of this project is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wiltshire.gov.uk\/green-economy-climate-change\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wiltshire Council\u2019s Environmental Policy objectives<\/a>, and as such, the new science block will be operating at net zero carbon, and sustainability assessments have helped to identify opportunities to reduce energy demand, improve efficiency, and minimise the environmental impact.<\/p>\n<p>CarboniCa, a digital carbon calculation tool, was used to assess the plans for development and to further reduce carbon emissions.<\/p>\n<p>Cllr Jon Hubbard, cabinet member for education and skills, said: \u201cWiltshire Council is committed to investing in the education of our young people. We carefully plan for future demand so that we can provide as many local school places as possible.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is important that young people can attend school in their local community and benefit from excellent facilities that support their learning, wellbeing, and future aspirations.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Clifford Kinch, area director for Morgan Sindall Construction in the South, said: \u201cThe expansion of Sarum Academy is a really exciting project, as we know that it\u2019s going to help futureproof Salisbury\u2019s educational landscape by creating hundreds of new secondary school places. It\u2019ll also be looking after the local community\u2019s future generations in more ways than one, as its net zero design will provide a sustainable, high-end teaching environment for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Net zero schools require careful planning<\/h3>\n<p>Writing for PBC Today earlier this month, Carl Saxon, regional director at Wallace Whittle, discussed why decisions made at the very start of the planning process are crucial for creating sustainable schools.<\/p>\n<p>Carl wrote: \u201cThere is a persistent perception that sustainable schools cost significantly more to deliver, and it is broadly accurate. Not so long ago a school could be built with basic light fittings, a gas boiler, a few radiators and not much else, cheap and cheerful because the public purse demanded it. However, since 2021 the Department for Education (DfE) has required new schools to be net zero carbon in operation, without offsite offsetting. In February this year, the DfE replaced its output specification with new design standards under its Construction Framework 2025, and while the detail has changed, the standards remain considerably more onerous than standard building regulations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, it is no longer about whether to build sustainable schools; it\u2019s instead about how to make them affordable when both school budgets and design budgets are already severely constrained. This leads to a question the industry rarely asks: why does every school get designed from scratch?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/every-sustainable-school-designed-from-scratch-time-to-ask-why\/164333\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">full thoughts here.<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plans for a Sarum Academy expansion in Salisbury have been approved, with Morgan Sindall set to deliver the project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":164715,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[172731],"tags":[702,145559,173251,3649,173349,173348,685,93645],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-164714","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-projects","8":"tag-architecture","9":"tag-emissions","10":"tag-design-specification","11":"tag-education","12":"tag-envelopes-and-interiors","13":"tag-facades","14":"tag-morgan-sindall","15":"tag-net-zero"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Plans for \u00a314.6m Sarum Academy expansion approved<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Plans for a Sarum Academy expansion in Salisbury have been approved, with Morgan Sindall set to deliver the project\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/projects\/plans-for-14-6m-sarum-academy-expansion-approved\/164714\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Plans for \u00a314.6m Sarum Academy expansion approved\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Plans for a Sarum Academy expansion in Salisbury have been approved, with Morgan Sindall set to deliver the project\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/projects\/plans-for-14-6m-sarum-academy-expansion-approved\/164714\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
