storey extension
Robertson Construction Yorkshire & East Midlands has constructed a two-storey extension to accommodate additional motor vehicle workshops and classrooms at the Olive Grove Campus. In addition, the existing entrance and atrium spaces have been remodelled to create flexible areas while enhancing visibility to the motor vehicle workshops.
Harmonious integration: a two-storey extension for enhanced student spaces
The two-storey extension seamlessly integrates with the current building, extending the double-height workshop and connecting to the atrium and tower block on the ground and first floors. By relocating the main entrance, we have secured the existing external area, providing a covered social space for students.
Enhancing learning: safeguarding measures during campus transformation
To minimise disruption to students, especially those in the adjacent workshop, we carefully considered safety and efficiency, prioritising the teaching and learning experience while acknowledging the dynamic nature of the site. By implementing enhanced safety measures, we created a secure and conducive environment for both construction and learning.
Fabric-first strategy and low-carbon energy systems
Our sustainability approach for the project has prioritised a fabric-first strategy, incorporated low-carbon energy systems and used solar photovoltaic panels to create a bio-solar roof in line with Sheffield College's commitment to achieve Net Zero by 2040.
Route to market: Procure Partnerships framework
The project was procured through the Procure Partnerships framework, a specialist in new build construction and refurbishment projects for the public sector across England.
