Ashe Construction has reached a major milestone on a £800,000 school refurbishment project in Derby.
Work to renovate the interior of Murray Park School is now complete and the second phase of the scheme will begin later this summer.
The two-phase project is funded by the city council and includes external restoration of the roof and replacement of windows as well as internal updates to cooking areas, art rooms, textile classrooms and metal art shop.
Site Manager Steve Redgate said: "Murray Park School is a great project to be a part of and the first phase went very well, with works finishing on time, within a tight schedule.
"It was important that we worked alongside the school to avoid any disruption. During the first phase, we worked around the clock during the six week summer holiday to ensure the necessary work was completed to the highest standard before the new term began.
"We also provided health and safety talks for the teachers and pupils and volunteered to show the final years around the building site and classrooms, as this tied in with their curriculum."
Headteacher Martyn Owen added: "The work has significantly improved and had a positive impact on the teaching and learning environment for the school's students and staff. We are impressed with Ashe Construction's work and organisation and we look forward to working with them again on future projects."
