Following on from the successful completion of a previous project for the science block extension in 2004 constructed on the roof of the existing school, the school appointed MCS to review the viability of constructing a new sixth form centre, again at roof level. 

​

From first principles MCS developed the design to safely construct the new extension over the live school environment including obtaining planning consent. The structure was located onto a new steel frame grillage and then the timber framed structure placed on the grillage to form the shell of the new structure. 

​

The new structure comprised of classrooms, smaller breakout teaching rooms, a central common room and social area including kitchenette, computer pods and seating.

​

MCS carefully planned and coordinated all works in close collaboration with the school to ensure all works were completed safely whilst the school remained in full operation.

​

Separately as a further Design & Build collaboration with the school, MCS designed and constructed a new music department including acoustic music rooms and reconfigured the old hall area to provide additional music and performance area.
