Willmott Dixon<\/a> has been awarded a \u00a323.8m contract to deliver enhancements at three schools in Sandwell that will accommodate an additional 990 students<\/h2>\n

The schools in Sandwell include Q3 Academy Langley, West Bromwich Collegiate Academy and Bristnall Hall Academy.<\/p>\n

The facilities, which have been designed with Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council<\/a> and ADP Architecture<\/a>, are being built as part of Sandwell Council\u2019s Schools Capital Programme 2019-2021.<\/p>\n

Michelle Cotterill, operations director at Willmott Dixon, said: \u201cWe are very excited to be involved in these three projects to provide much-needed school places for the Sandwell community throughout its period of rapid expansion.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll be bringing to each scheme our proven track record of working in live education environments<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The projects were procured via the Constructing West Midlands Framework.<\/p>\n

Willmott Dixon\u2019s scope of work to extend the existing teaching accommodation at the schools in Sandwell include providing a theatre, new multi-use hall and completion of all external spaces at Q3 Academy Langley.<\/p>\n

Also, the completion of a new specialist teaching block, a sports hall and a new sports pitch at West Bromwich Collegiate Academy and the provision of a new stand-alone building comprising of teaching, kitchen and dining facilities at Bristnall Hall Academy.<\/p>\n

\u2018Leave a lasting legacy\u2019<\/h3>\n

Cotterill added: \u201cAs with all projects, our goal will be to leave a lasting legacy within the communities we work and are aiming to deliver over \u00a31.2m worth of social value<\/a> across all three schools by introducing initiatives that include the improvement of staff wellbeing, supporting local people into employment and providing NEETs students with employability skills and training opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will be working closely with Sandwell\u2019s Education, Skills and Employment team to look at local employment and apprenticeships, and our on-site teams will also be providing career guidance, workshops, site tours and mock interviews.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll also be hosting work experience placements and supporting the community through initiatives and volunteering opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Councillor Joyce Underhill, cabinet member for best start in life at Sandwell, said: \u201cIn these most challenging of times, particularly with the unusual working restrictions we all currently face, it is extremely pleasing to see the progress that has continued to be made towards these 3 major school projects being completed in time for the start of September 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe council looks forward to continuing to build a strong working relationship with Willmott Dixon to ensure our children receive the best possible school facilities<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n
