Project Win for OSBS at East Norfolk Sixth Form College

[[posterous-content:pid___0]]

Elliott Off-Site Building Solutions has been commissioned by East Norfolk Sixth Form College to design and build a new canteen and two-storey classroom block. This continues a hugely successful relationship with the College established in 2003. Three separate contracts in that time have included the current works, two further classroom blocks and a sports hall for a total of £7m.

The new two-storey classroom block will include 16 classrooms, toilets and office accommodation with the external elevations containing a mixture of red brickwork and grey Kingspan cladding to complement the existing buildings on the College site. The building will include a covered walkway linking the classroom block to the new canteen.

The new single-storey canteen building will include an open seating area with up to 196 people capacity. Also within the buildings footprint will be a kitchen, servery, toilets and storage provision. Sliding folding doors will lead out onto a large terraced area facing the College playing fields to the South of the site. The building will have the same external appearance as the classroom block in keeping with the existing College site.

Both new buildings will be formed using a combination of structural steel frame and timber infill panels with concrete floors throughout with all internal and external finishes and mechanical and electrical installations meeting the College’s specification.

The Elliott Off-Site team will start on site in early September with overall completion of the projects expected in April 2012. Once completed, the whole south facing vista of the College site will include the five buildings constructed by Elliott Off-Site.

Carshalton High School – Week 13

The classroom block is internally very close to completion with all M&E installations complete and the final decoration and joinery works being undertaken.

 

There is a final push on the large amount of external works now to ensure that the building is ready for occupation in time for the new term.

OSBS Progress at Victory Park, Sheffield

Elliott Off-Site Building Solutions are making good progress on the new Elliott Depot at Victory Park in Sheffield. The project includes new workshop buildings, a new office building (pictured) and large hard standings for the storage of hire products.

The picture demonstrates the hybrid steel frame and timber infill panel method of construction utilised for this project by the Elliott Off-Site team. This method of construction is employed on many of the division’s projects and provides the benefit of a shorter construction programme. Using modern methods of constructing buildings we are able to provide complete design flexibility which provides tangible benefits to customers in terms of speed of construction, higher quality and efficient and adaptable space use.

The building is due to be completed on schedule with the 18-week programme in time for the new term in September. The building has been constructed utilising Elliott Off-Site’s hybrid method of construction which incorporates a steel frame ground floor, timber frame first floor and timber infill panels.

 

The structure includes a concrete ground and first floor, pitched roof and brick cladding to the exterior providing a traditional aspect to the buildings appearance.

Carshalton High School – Week 12

The classroom block at Carshalton High School for Girls is completed externally with the brick cladding and tiled pitched roof fitting in well with the existing school surroundings.

 

The trades are finalising the internal fit out and the project is due to complete on time and on budget.

Carshalton High School – Week 11

There is now only 4 weeks in the programme until the new classroom block is finished at Carshalton High School for Girls. The development is on budget and on programme.

 

The team are currently busy plaster-boarding the internal walls and preparing the internal finish to meet the clients requirements. Externally the building is nearing completion with the brick cladding almost finished and the scaffolding will be down next week.
