VINCI Construction UK Limited Awarded £25 Million Contract to Design & Build New Education Campus

VINCI Construction UK has been awarded a £25 Million contract to design and build a new education campus in Liverpool as part of the £500m Building Schools, Skills, Success scheme (BSSS), which will see every secondary school in the city either re-built or extensively refurbished under the government’s Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme.

The campus will provide new facilities for King David High School, Primary School and Kindergarten and the Harold House Jewish Community & Youth centre as part of a single integrated building on the current high school site.

Situated on the largest Jewish campus in Europe, King David accepts students from other faiths and the new facilities will be open for use outside school, to all members of the local community. The high school specialises in humanities and the high school elements of the new campus facility will include flexible learning environments equipped with wireless internet access, allowing classrooms to accommodate new teaching styles and encourage more pupil interaction.

The new school will also have improved ICT facilities, which will further enhance the ability of students to pursue personalised learning, in addition to breakout rooms for independent study and group work, a new foyer and reception, sports hall and sports pitches.
