The future St Luke鈥檚 Park Primary School and Nursery is being built by Morgan Sindall 今日看料 under a 拢5.5m contract for Essex County Council.听
The project team, together with Concertus Design & Property Consultants, has taken the project from feasibility and planning to construction starting on the former Runwell Hospital site in St Luke鈥檚 Way.
The new school is scheduled to open in September 2022, with one form entry to provide 210 primary and 56 nursery places for families in the new 575-home St Luke鈥檚 Park housing estate.
The school鈥檚 design incorporates architectural features that are intended to mirror the nearby old chapel and the wider St Luke鈥檚 Park development. This includes a masonry fa莽ade that matches the neighbouring buildings. A protrusion of polyester powder coated (PPC) aluminium composite panels is designed to complement the chapel and delineate the main pupil entrance. The school鈥檚 soft and hard landscaping will align with the existing communal space with gabion features and resin paving.听
