New Sports Hall
Guildford County School
The works comprised the demolition of an existing sports hall, followed by construction of a new 4 court sports hall, changing facilities, fitness studio, gym, classrooms, offices, links to existing buildings and all associated external works.
Due to height restrictions the new sports hall was constructed 3m below ground level, so the project incorporated a significant basement. This was achieved by constructing a contiguous piled retaining wall with a waterproof concrete basement wall formed in front once excavation works were complete.
A challenging build in a busy live secondary school, but despite the initial onset of the Covid pandemic the project was completed on programme much to the delight of all involved.
