BAM has revealed its plans to undertake the £42m ($53.20m) renovation of Wrotham School in Kent, England, UK.
The project is aimed at replacing and upgrading the existing school to provide an additional 265 permanent places by September 2027.
BAM says it is collaborating closely with the UK’s Department for Education (DfE) to improve the school’s biodiversity and plant 200 trees during the preconstruction phase.
The project team comprises design company KSS alongside design and consultancy company Arcadis.
Last week, KSS announced that the project secured planning permission.
The renovation will also integrate a range of sustainability features.
