The project managers are Faithful and Gould.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Due to be handed over Summer 2020, the entire building will be constructed offsite at The McAvoy Group\u2019s production centre. This solution will radically reduce disruption to staff and children during construction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Designed by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blueskydesignservices.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Blue Sky Architects<\/a>, the centre will provide an exemplar educational environment to reflect the academy\u2019s vision and ethos, and the delivery of a balanced and creative curriculum. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It will feature multi-functional learning spaces for food technology; constructional textiles; ICT, and craft, design and technology as well as general classrooms. These will be arranged either side of a central circulation route and will be adaptable and flexible to support future modes of curriculum delivery and technological innovations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Raymond Millar, pre-construction director at The McAvoy Group, said: \u201cWe are delighted to be building this wonderful new facility for this progressive academy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;The building is located at the heart of the school so access for traditional construction would be more challenging. Using an offsite solution <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/modular-construction-news\/offsite-primary-school\/60335\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">gives the school the primary benefit<\/a> of reduced time on site. This is a live school environment so by reducing the build programme, we are minimising any disruption to the children\u2019s education.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWe are using the latest advances in education design and offsite construction to create an inspiring environment for teaching and learning. McAvoy offsite solutions offer clear benefits for the delivery of new education facilities which include increased value for money, greater quality control and programme benefits because the construction work can advance in the factory while groundworks are put in place on site.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">McAvoy has used the latest digital construction tools for this scheme which include 3D modelling for design and co-ordination, and virtual reality for public consultation and to facilitate client engagement in the design process. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The project also involves detailed logistical planning to create a separate contractor\u2019s entrance to the site whilst maintaining public access to the school and the adjacent Deepings Leisure Centre.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The group\u2019s offsite construction solutions speed up construction to help meet the growing demand for school places; allow the safe and efficient development of constrained schools sites with less disruption, and offer greater certainty of completion on programme, on budget and to the highest factory-built quality standards.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The McAvoy Group has been awarded a \u00a35.5m contract for the offsite construction of a new three-storey Art, Design and Technology Centre at The Deepings School.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":0,"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":[942],"tags":[676,856,688,627,696,639],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-67180","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-mmc-news","7":"tag-construction","8":"tag-construction-technology","9":"tag-digital-construction","10":"tag-modular-construction","11":"tag-offsite-construction","12":"tag-procurement"},"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>McAvoy wins \u00a35.5m contract for new technology centre<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"McAvoy has been awarded a \u00a35.5m contract for the offsite construction of a new three-storey Art, Design and Technology Centre in Peterborough\" \/>\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\/mmc-news\/technology-centre-peterborough\/67180\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"McAvoy wins \u00a35.5m contract for new technology centre\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"McAvoy has been awarded a \u00a35.5m contract for the offsite construction of a new three-storey Art, Design and Technology Centre in Peterborough\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/mmc-news\/technology-centre-peterborough\/67180\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
