Construction work will start immediately to meet a tight schedule to open the school in time for the new academic year in summer 2012.
Skanska is responsible for the technical design and construction of the Isaac Newton Academy, which will accommodate about 1,250 students aged between 11 and 19 years.
The ARK academy project comprises an 11,500 sq m building, divided into four
schools for various levels. Each school will have separate entrances and
schoolyards.
The school building will be designed to meet stringent environmental requirements, with a particular focus on energy efficiency.
