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. 

These comprise hybrid ventilation systems and photovoltaic (PV) panels capable of generating 312.8kWp to attain net-zero carbon status.

It will further include the installation of a green roof system, sustainable drainage systems, and electric vehicle charging points.

BAM construction manager Daniel Brenchley said: “We are thrilled to spearhead the transformation of Wrotham School. This project exemplifies BAM's commitment to delivering sustainable and inclusive environments where students and staff can thrive.  

“The new school facilities will ensure everyone can reach their full potential, whilst also being considerate and sympathetic to the fantastic setting within the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.” 

Earlier this month, South West Water selected BAM to deliver parts of its £2.8bn investment programme, known as the AMP 8 Engineering Capital Delivery Programme.
