Case Study

Vale of Evesham School

Omnium Projects Ltd served as the principal contractor, managing and completing a comprehensive renovation project at a school. The project was divided into three distinct phases, each focusing on different aspects of the school’s infrastructure.

Phase One: Early Years Space Reconfiguration

The first phase involved transforming redundant classroom spaces into an open-plan early years teaching and learning area. This included:

• Removing existing ceilings, internal partitions, floor finishes, and wall coverings.

• Stripping out and reconfiguring the I.T. infrastructure, electrical, and mechanical installations.

• Installing a new low-level toilet block, kitchen, wet play area, and quiet room within the existing building envelope.

• Adding a new set of automatic doors to provide level access to the outside space for pupils and staff.

Phase Two: Classroom Reconfigurations

• The second phase focused on reconfiguring two classrooms and a toilet block. Key activities included:

• Stripping out existing facilities and making minor reconfigurations.

• Installing new floor finishes, ceilings, decorations, and wet areas.

• Adding low-level and accessible toilets.

• Installing a new external set of automatic doors and making ground alterations to enable level access to the courtyard play area.

Phase Three: Classroom Reconfiguration

The final phase involved minor demolitions and the strip-out of existing facilities to allow for:

• New ceiling installations.

• Reconfiguration of mechanical, electrical, and data services.

• New wet area floor finishes, ceilings, and decorations.

Before commencing on-site work, Omnium Projects Ltd held a meeting with the school and the project management team. Given the presence of pupils and the specific needs of some students, it was crucial to minimise disturbances. Measures taken included:

• Segregating the work area completely from the school.

• Conducting noisy operations outside of sensitive times and with prior consent from the school.

• Arriving at work outside of pupil drop-off and collection times.

The school appreciated Omnium Projects considerate approach. Through positive and ongoing communication, the project was completed without incident. Omnium Projects Ltd successfully delivered the project within the agreed timeframe and budget, satisfying the Project Manager, Client Architect, and the School.
