Shrewsbury College Renovation Project

Shrewsbury College – English Bridge

Refurbishment and Renovation Project 

Project Overview:
Client: Shrewsbury College Group
Location: English Bridge Campus
Rational:
The college sought to optimize its spatial utilization for enhanced functionality. The existing canteen, confined within a secluded area devoid of natural light, was experiencing a detrimental impact on its revenue stream. Similarly, the prior configuration of the drama studio, characterized by excessive brightness and echoing acoustics, was deemed inadequate for its intended purpose and the changing rooms were no longer utilized. In response to these challenges, Edward Finch was commissioned to conduct a comprehensive feasibility study and subsequently develop a scheme design aimed at remedying these shortcomings.

Challenges:The project faced notable challenges in navigating the construction activities around the college’s term schedule and examination periods, requiring careful coordination to minimize disruptions to ongoing educational activities. Leveraging the main holiday period allowed for the execution of the majority of noisy construction tasks, mitigating potential disturbances to students and staff during critical academic periods.

To effectively manage these complexities, a two-part contract structure was adopted. This approach facilitated the division of the project into distinct phases, allowing for flexibility in scheduling and resource allocation. By strategically sequencing the construction activities and aligning them with the college’s academic calendar, Edward Finch ensured minimal interference with day-to-day operations while achieving project milestones efficiently.

The outcome:

The project culminated in a resounding success, with Edward Finch demonstrating adept project management capabilities throughout the entirety of the endeavor, ultimately delivering the project to completion. The transformative efforts yielded newly configured spaces that significantly enhanced the college’s facilities, enriching the learning environment for students and faculty alike. By effectively executing the proposed changes, the college now boasts upgraded amenities that align with modern educational standards, fostering a conducive atmosphere for academic excellence and personal growth. This accomplishment underscores Edward Finch’s commitment to delivering impactful solutions that meet and exceed client expectations, leaving a lasting positive impact on the institution and its stakeholders.
