Read our April 2024 Development Update to get a peek into the lexicon of facility development. Specifically, we identify the most common terms and fees you—as a school leader or board member—can expect to encounter on a major construction or renovation project. Whether you’re leasing from an owner of a strip mall for temporary space or securing your permanent bond funding for all-new construction, this concise glossary of terms will help. #schools #charterschools  #education #communitydevelopment #schoolconstruction  #charterschooldevelopment #missiondriven https://lnkd.in/gzH_pVQT

Niche recently obtained approval for a new P-12 campus for Victory Christian College in Bendigo’s fastest developing growth corridor. With no existing structure plan for the area, but an identified need for provision of increased government and non-government school facilities, strategic planning is yet to catch up with growth already happening in the area. The school will provide for 1125 students and 130 staff in Epsom. The site previously had approval for 16 low density residential lots, with the eastern half of the site left vacant and difficult to develop due to flooding issues. The school campus resolves this issue by utilising that area for its outdoor recreational activities, ensuring the best possible outcome for this site. Niche provided a convincing strategic assessment that demonstrated that there are few appropriate locations for a future school in the Epsom area, and there is a site specific demand, need and viability for a school on the site. The site can be developed with minimum amenity impacts or loss of potential residential uses. This is the school’s second campus in Bendigo (and the second we assisted with), with stage 1 to commence soon! #schooldevelopment #bendigo #townplanning

Euro Quality Coatings supplied 107 louvres as part of a colourful design scheme for Winterstoke Hundred Academy, a secondary school located just outside Weston-Super-Mare. The school embarked on a significant expansion project to accommodate up to 900 additional students. This expansion, funded by Homes England’s Housing Infrastructure Fund, aimed to provide modern teaching facilities to improve educational outcomes for students and serve the needs of the growing local community. The collaboration between EQC and project contractors exemplifies the successful integration of innovative design, quality materials, and environmental responsibility in educational infrastructure development. https://lnkd.in/e5v-vBtA #EQCQualityCoatings #InnovativeDesign #SustainableInfrastructure #PowderCoatingExcellence #EducationalArchitecture #EnvironmentalResponsibility #CollaborativeSuccess #AluminiumLouvres #AestheticEnhancement #SustainabilityGoal

New school planning and construction - a phased approach (aligned to planned growth) is often best. Depending on the land and building footprints, opening specialist blocks and facilites for Senior / High School at the appropriate times is recommended. #newschool #internationalschools #privateschools

The Department for Education has recently released a new piece of guidance to help school building owners and maintenance staff identify building systems and prioritise maintenance and repair of their school estate.   Now that the DfE has concluded its RAAC management, with all schools identified having plans in place to remove it or remove its load bearing role, this new guidance is an indication of a move to get ahead of other structural issues that exist within the school estate.   In this blog post we provide an overview of why educational establishments should pay attention to the release of this new guidance, as well as recommendations on how to take a proactive approach to managing the structural safety of education estates. https://lnkd.in/eCBFNmzd #EducationEstates #RAAc #RAACGuidance #SchoolBuildings

RAAC Rebuilding: Schools Celebrate, But Anxiously Ask "When?" Good news for 119 RAAC-affected schools - you're getting rebuilt! But the excitement is tempered with a big question: when?⏳ Heads are urging clarity and timelines from the DfE, worried about wasting funds on temporary fixes for buildings due for demolition. Here's the lowdown: • 119 schools will get rebuilt under the School Rebuilding Programme (SRP). • Schools worry about delays, with some temporary solutions costing up to £45,000/month. • Existing building issues, like outdated systems and asbestos, add further concerns. • Unions call for clear timelines and reiterate concerns about lack of new funding. What school leaders are saying: • "We need reassurance on where we are going and what concrete action is coming." - Honywood School Headteacher • "It's a waste to keep throwing money at an old building." - North West school headteacher • "This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to get it right, but we still have unanswered questions." - Michael McCluskie, Coast and Vale Learning Trust #RAAC #Schools #Rebuilding #Education #Infrastructure
