A £4.3 million school extension project has been completed four weeks ahead of schedule in Rutland.

The new sixth form building was delivered for Harington School by BAM Construction.

Features included building a new two-storey, steel-framed building to house 300 students in Catmose College campus.

In addition, the building contains four science labs, ICT rooms, and a modern assembly area with presentation screens.


Overall, 100 tonnes of steel was used and 3,700 m3 of waste was excavated to create the development.

Ian Phillips, Senior Site Manager, says: "Rutland is a bit further out than we usually build, so we had to source some new supply chain companies, and they have worked really well with us.

"Planning has been key because of working on a live campus and our partnership with the school has allowed us to stand back, analyse and sequence properly, which is how we have managed to hand over four weeks earlier than expected."
