Contractor Bouygues UK has been appointed to develop Stanmore College, a further education college in Harrow, under the CF21 Framework.
The firm was chosen by the Department for Education.
The college will be funded by the DfE’s Further Education Improvement Programme. Bouygues UK will be reconfiguring the college’s existing site by replacing four buildings with four new builds, to be completed in summer 2027 with work starting imminently.
Education is a key sector for Bouygues UK and the contractor has a strong track record of delivering high-quality, sustainable and inspiring places to learn. Another recent education project completed by Bouygues UK in London is Leigh Academy in Blackheath that achieved a BREEAM score of 'Excellent' giving it the sustainability level equivalent to the top 10% of the UK’s non-domestic buildings, demonstrating the contractor’s dedication to sustainable construction.
Bouygues UK will be using its education building standardised ‘kit of parts’ approach for the build, incorporating net zero principles. This will help ensure flexibility, affordability, sustainability, reduced ongoing maintenance and surety of price and programme.
As construction of the college commences, the contractor will be inducting its first cohort of T Level students into Design Surveying and Planning internships, developed in collaboration with the social enterprise, Class Of Your Own, renowned for its award-winning 'Design Engineer Construct!' learning programme which will place future professionals at the heart of its cutting-edge projects.
Phillippa Prongué, MD for London and the South East at Bouygues UK said: "We are thrilled to have been chosen for this project, as the education sector is a significant focus area for us, and excited to welcome our T Level interns who will be able to gain an unparalleled understanding of contractor work. Our construction methods for schools have evolved in line with the DfE’s output specification and we are looking forward to using our kit-of-parts approach and incorporating more off-site construction. We know that the construction of high-quality education buildings plays a key role in producing better student outcomes."
