Pick Everard award-winning school building project
Pick Everard has scooped an award at the 18th RICS East Midlands Awards - in recognition of its design of a GBP17.9 million school building project.
Norfolk County Council Children's Services and NPS Property Consultants are managing the 36-school programme over a two-year period, which will include the building of new schools as well as remodelling and extensions.
Pick Everard has been awarded a three-year commission for its role, with an option for being extended for a further two years.
The Pick Everard team includes partner Tom Allen, project director Ed Dale and senior architect Chris Gerrard.
Ed Dale said: "We are delighted to have been selected to work on the programme using our expertise in the educational sector - most recently gained at West Suffolk College in Bury St Edmunds where we are working as Property Services Consultants".
To be carried out in two phases, the first part of the Norfolk programme will cover 19 schools which are top priority because they require additional places.
Ten of these are already underway.
Phase 2 will centre on the remaining 17 schools and involve addressing suitability issues.
Pick Everard specialises in the educational sector and its recent projects have included Derby's largest ever schools building project worth GBP38million - a PFI project rebuilding five schools, the new Stephenson College in Leicestershire, an GBP8million Medical School for Keele University and new Veterinary School at the University of Nottingham.
