Simmonds College

The project consisted of the refurbishment and upgrade of a heritage school building, transforming existing spaces while carefully integrating new facilities within the constraints of the existing structure. Works included the construction of a new external glazed DDA-compliant lift, new home economics facilities, upgraded student and staff amenities, a new reception area and staff room, together with the refurbishment of existing classrooms. The project incorporated extensive demolition, structural alterations and new additions to the heritage building, requiring careful planning, coordination and integration of contemporary services, accessibility and functional requirements while respecting the character and constraints of the existing building. The completed works have delivered a modern, accessible and highly functional learning environment for students and staff.
