Modular construction specialists, Darwin Group<\/a> has completed a new multi-use block for Gretton School in Cambridge<\/h2>\n

The brand-new modular build STEAM block will provide the school with two science labs, a design and technology workshop, art studio and associated services.<\/p>\n

By utilising Darwin\u2019s modern approach to design and turnkey solutions<\/a>, the block was completed in three and a half months and arrived on site with fully fitted science labs, gas facilities, prep-room and desk space providing a functional space for experiential and theory lessons.<\/p>\n

After receiving expensive designs from other companies, the school began to consider that its vision may have to be compromised.<\/p>\n

Darwin Group, in conjunction with LXA Projects Ltd<\/a>, was able to streamline the process and provide a more cost-effective solution for the school.<\/p>\n

The modular build block was constructed offsite at Darwin Groups Shrewsbury-based facility.<\/p>\n

Redefine what is achievable<\/h3>\n

Charles Pierce, managing director at Darwin Group, said: \u201cAs a proud British company we are thrilled to be able to offer an innovative solution that has bought this project to fruition.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur modern techniques and unique turnkey service allows us to redefine what is realistically achievable within tight timescales and limited budgets making us the perfect fit for projects of this nature.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ian Thorsteinsson, principle at Gretton School<\/a>, commented: \u201cOur smart new block is a fantastic addition to our school.<\/p>\n

\u201cDarwin Group were true professionals and considered the needs of our staff and students at every stage of the project, from start to finish.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a great relief that the majority of the construction work could be completed offsite without disturbing the school and we were amazed at how fast it was assembled.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany of our students get lots of enjoyment from the creativity that science, technology and art provide so I think this space is going to become their favourite place to work.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe aim to make our students school life structured, fun and enjoyable and the new teaching environment will allow us to enhance their learning whilst providing the secure space that they need to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Richard Parton, director of LXA Projects Ltd, added: \u201cIt was a pleasure to deliver this new academic facility<\/a> in conjunction with Darwin Group.\u00a0The team were flexible and responsive throughout the project and the end product is a fantastic new addition to Gretton School.\u201d<\/p>\n
