Market Rasen Leisure Centre, Lincolnshire | £4.9mSCAPE - West Lindsay District Council
Design and construction of a brand new leisure centre with four court sports hall, gym, café, changing facilities and a full size 3G pitch.
Procured through the SCAPE Regional Construction framework, the 18,300sqft facility was designed closely with Everyone Active focusing on generous glazing for natural lighting as well as material palette that considers and compliments the natural surroundings.
During the build, almost £1.1 million of social value investment was delivered back into the local community through educational engagement, community projects and local employment. Since opening, the centre, which is the first of its kind locally, saw a 394% growth in users.
This is a fantastic facility. The place has that feel of a top quality, high-end finish. It’s been really popular and something the community simply hasn’t had before. We’ve had overwhelming support here because the community have wanted and the authority has really listened.
Highfield Spencer Academy, Derby | £5.3mSCAPE - Derby City Council
Highfields Spencer Academy involved the design and construction of a new primary school in just 40 weeks.
Designed by Lungfish Architects and using modular construction techniques, the school now serves a brand new housing community in Derbyshire and was delivered on time, in budget, through the COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring pupils were able to move in ready for the new school term.
In order to help the community and school feel a part of the build, drone tours were set up throughout the project so that stakeholders could keep in touch with the project remotely.
The team also held an event at the local job centre and as a result helped eight people secure employment.
Highfields is a magic place already, the building is beautiful. The education design is so well considered and the space lends itself to be such a positive space. It had a great team and they did everything possible to make sure I was involved. We're so proud of it here.
Potteries Museum, Stoke-on-Trent | £5.4mSCAPE - Stoke-on-Trent City Council
The potteries museum and art gallery extension project was borne out of the need to celebrate the restoration of a MK XVI Spitfire.
Gifted to the city in 1972 to commemorate the birth place of RJ Mitchell (the Spitfire designer), the fully restored spitfire now sites in a 3,800 square foot extension with specialist structural glazing.
In addition, the team also delivered a comprehensive extension of the 4,200 square foot café to create a fresh experience for visitors.
Working through the pandemic, and overcoming unmapped services challenges, the team delivered on time and in budget, whilst deliver £950k in social value locally.
Our heritage-led regeneration is creating a quality environment where visitors, residents and people working here can come and spend time in amazing spaces. It’s changing the landscape of Stoke-on-Trent for the better, providing a massive lift for the area.
Swansgate Car Park, Wellingborough | £5.3mSCAPE - Borough Council of Wellingborough
Delivered two weeks early, the complex overhaul of Swansgate car park has revitalised this structure for many years to come.
As well as adding more than 200 spaces to accommodate local shoppers, the team contributed £2.75 million in social value investment and volunteered 100 hours to community projects.
Repairs were carefully planned around 2,000 concrete failure points, with 28,500 sacrificial zinc anodes were installed along with the application of FerroGard corrosion inhibitor to mitigate future rebar corrosion and extend the life of the car park.
New CCTV was also installed, making the facility a safer, cleaner and structurally sound car park.
A much cleaner, safer and more attractive place to park. I'd like to put on record my admiration for the way this project has been managed from start to finish during what has been a difficult time for each and every one of us.
Lambeth Town Hall, Brixton | £80mMUSE/London Borough of Lambeth
Working for Muse Developments and the London Borough of Lambeth, the team designed and constructed a new civic centre, whilst reconfiguring the Grade II listed town hall.
In addition, the team also re-energised the former prestigious co-operative department store to create 26 sought after and high-quality apartments and refurbished another single storey building to create a storage facility for bicycles, toilets, showers and changing facilities.
Both the Civic Centre and Town Hall achieved BREEAM Excellent, whilst the re-engineered logistics approach to the scheme helped save 6 weeks on the programme and over £1 million in associated costs.
The whole team have been amazing. The feedback from everyone has been incredible. People are really enjoying the spaces and quality of work. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making our working environment so nice.
James Paget Hospital, Gt Yarmouth | £18mJames Paget NHS Hospitals Foundation Trust
Over the last seven years, Morgan Sindall Construction has supported a programme of works across the Hospital estate.
This includes a £9 million scheme to refurbish and extend the central theatres vertically to create a brand new day case operating unit.
In addition, the team have delivered refurbishments across a number of theatres, X-Ray suites and ambulatory care departments, as well as a £2.7 million extension to the accident and emergency department using modular construction to complete the job in only 14 weeks.
Amongst many volunteer projects, the team dedicated a whole week to refurbishing a courtyard for patient rehabilitation.
I would absolutely recommend the team. Within the NHS there are various VFM exercises and I'd say we have the perfect balance of value for money and quality here, so I would certainly recommend Morgan Sindall to colleagues across the UK.
Barbara Hepworth Building, Huddersfield | £30mUniversity of Huddersfield
Named after local Wakefield-born sculptor, Barbara Hepworth, the new building has allowed the University of Huddersfield’s Art, Design and Architecture Schools to be housed in one creative and technologically advanced hub.
The bespoke facilities include The Phidas Lab, a digital exhibition space, the Materials Library, print and dye areas, postgraduate research space, and studios and workshops for textiles, photography, graphic design, product design and fashion, with CAD computer laboratories.
The project created £9.5 million of social value for the Huddersfield and wider Yorkshire community, whilst the building was designed to achieve BREEAM Excellent and an EPC rating of A. A design that was assisted by BIM and mixed reality technology.
The Barbara Hepworth Building was designed to encourage inter-disciplinary teaching and collaboration, in effect, this building is a learning tool for the students and a lot of the surfaces are exposed so students can see how it is built. They can be taught by the building.
The Spine, Paddington | £35mLiverpool City Council
One of the healthiest workspaces for mental and physical wellbeing in the world, The Spine represents Liverpool’s first Grade A office space offer in a decade and creates a new northern headquarters for the Royal College of Physicians.
The Spine is the flagship project within Liverpool City Council’s £1bn development, Paddington Village. It will provide 1.8m sqft of science, technology, education and health space within the city’s Knowledge Quarter, cementing Liverpool as an international destination for science and innovation. Morgan Sindall delivered the shell & core of the 14-storey, 160,000 sq ft commercial building and provided CAT B fit out to level 6. The Spine’s anchor tenant, the Royal College of Physicians, occupy the top 7 floors which have been designed specifically to their requirements.
The Spine is a stunning building and very much reflects the 21st century. Its unique design and distinctive look also symbolises the ambitions we have for Paddington Village – to create an innovation district to rival any in the UK and Europe.
HMS Cambria, Cardiff | £9.2mAssociated British Ports
Design and construction of a four storey steel framed building at the heart of a secure defence sector port area in Cardiff. This project is part of the Navy Command Future Reserves 20 programmes (FR20). The state-of-the-art head office and training facility was delivered by Reserve Forces' and Cadets' Association (RFCA) for Wales, in partnership with port owner and operator Associated British Ports, South Wales (ABP South Wales).
It is a 3,755 sqft four-storey facility which includes living accommodation for up to 50 people, training and classroom suites, dining hall, armoury room and an external rope training area and parade square. The building features other amenities, such as social and fitness facilities and work space for up to 80 people.
We were delighted that ABP’s Port of Cardiff was chosen as the site for this future strategic facility and people can really see the positive impact that HMS Cambria will make in Cardiff Bay.
Arts University Bournemouth | £24mArts University Bournemouth
Arts University Bournemouth's new student halls development is creating a safe home-from-home for students. The BREEAM Very Good scheme provides accommodation for more than 300 students.
Delivered across three large student blocks, the scheme compliments the campuses aesthetic, featuring 8-bed clusters with communal kitchens, dining areas, and a landscaped courtyard with more than 100 trees planted to maintain a green and natural environment for students.
Additionally, circular economy principles have resulted in 94% of waste diverted from landfill, with nearly 90% of construction work routed through 45 small to medium sized enterprises in the local area to encourage and demonstrate the effectiveness of local suppliers and contractors.
We are very pleased with the project, from its inception to handover, and the Halls perfectly complement our existing Campus buildings in scale, function and sustainability.
