Wrapped up for the winter
4 December 2006
Building work on the new Academy continues to progress at an astonishing rate. The building is now topped out, and 100 tradesman are on site working on the internal structure of the building. To enable them to continue to make good progress, a watertight membrane wraps the building, hiding the hive of activity which is going on inside.

A visit to the site now gives the look and feel of the school it will become: classrooms, offices, stairwells and lift shafts are all taking shape and the internal form can clearly be seen. Most impressively, the suspended Learning Resources Centre, which hangs in the centre of a four-storey atrium, is now taking shape.

Mace Plus, the building contractors, are working at a tremendous pace and are well within their time frame for handing over the building in time for the start of the new academic year.
