1-week to go before the Education Buildings Ireland Conference & Exhibition where Vision-Built are exhibiting on stand 419. Please be sure to drop buy and see the team if you are at the event. Improving opportunities for our children and young people is an absolute must. The whole construction industry has to become more forward-thinking. Using Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) or Modern Methods of Construction (MMC Category 1 Modular) is a way of designing and constructing a quality building more quickly, efficiently and sustainably, allows a quicker design & build process, and when latest digital design methods are utilised, we can bring forward the opportunity for large scale standardisation and repeatability. If we firstly consider Ireland, there are a large number of school building projects currently at tender stage due to proceed to construction over the course of 2024 and early 2025. These projects will upgrade schools with modernised facilities to accommodate the increasing student populations in respective areas. This initiative includes the addition of 138 specialised classrooms tailored to meet the educational needs of children with special needs, which is a key priority for the Government. A total of around €800 million will be invested in these projects under the department's Large Scale Capital Programme and Additional Accommodation Scheme for essential classroom accommodation. Ireland's Minister for Education, Norma Foley TD, said: "This is a record level of investment in school buildings. It will expand the number of school places, significantly increase provision for special education and upgrade and modernise our school infrastructure. The impact of this will be felt in communities right around the country." If we then consider the UK, where MMC solutions have been used for school buildings for some 10-15 years, the UK Chancellor has committed £1.4 billion to ensure the delivery of the existing School Rebuilding Programme, with 50 rebuilds a year delivering on promises made to parents, teachers and local communities that crumbling school buildings will be rebuilt. Please come and visit stand 419 at next weeks event, speak to our team, and learn how we can support you with your school building requirements.
