ISG is underway with work to build a new £10 million free school for Temple Learning Academy in East Leeds.

The project was awarded to the company under the EFA Framework.

The new three-storey building will be developed on the former East Leeds Leisure Centre site.

The scheme aims to re-use as much of the existing infrastructure as possible with ISG demolishing the swimming pool, retaining the steel frame building and re-using the existing sports hall facility.

In addition, modern teaching accommodation will be created along with repairs being carried out to the building's façade.

Facilities include Special Educational Needs (SEN) provision, a learning resource centre (LRC), a kitchen, dining area and sports facilities.

A new MUGA pitch will also be built with significant hard and soft landscaping, new play areas, a car park and designated drop off areas.

Danny Murray, ISG's Northern regional MD, said: "The demand for high-quality learning space has never been higher and the EFA Framework has proved the perfect procurement vehicle to drive innovation, vision and efficiencies into the construction process to bring this scheme to site quickly."
