Jackson Wins Fire Station Contract
Following the successful completion of a new build ambulance station, the special projects division of Jackson Construction, has secured a further £1.1 million project to construct a new Fire Station.
Designed to blend seamlessly into the existing built environment, the accommodation will house 48 individual study bedrooms with en-suite facilities, as well as a communal kitchen and dining facilities across each of the floors.
In addition to their tiled roofs, both buildings feature brick and render finishes to their facades.
An environmentally friendly bike shed, with a green sedum roof, provides secure parking and a rainwater storage tank will provide irrigation for a new garden area.
The project is right on schedule to complete by July 2008.
Phillip Allerton, director of ISG Jackson's Living division, commented: "Reaching the highest point of every development is a key moment in the build programme and provides a tangible indicator of the project's progress".
"We attribute much of the success of our schemes to building close and collaborative relationships with our clients and continue to work effectively with Robinson College towards a successful handover.".
