CUMNOCK ACADEMY - MORE COMFORTABLE CLASSROOMS FOR SCOTTISH STUDENTS
Cumnock Academy is a non-denominational secondary school for approximately 1,000 pupils, serving the local towns and surrounding rural area.
The old single-glazed metal windows were replaced by low maintenance energy efficient double-glazed PVC-u outward opening Casements.
The large window sizes and height of the building necessitated the use of working platforms both inside and outside the building.
The classroom floors were covered with hardboard floor protection throughout.
The installation work was undertaken in consultation with the school to ensure an
y disruption incurred was kept to a minimum throughout the project.
Anglian have so far completed five phases out of eight phases planned, fitting a total of 900 individual windows over a three-year period, with the value of the works exceeding £450,000.
Anglian’s fenestration surveyors met with the client and other relevant stakeholders on site. From that initial briefing a detailed and fully costed proposal was resented for approval.
This process minimised the client resource needed and ensured that the design focused on buildability.
Programmes were then agreed to suit budget and cashflow requirements.
This project forms part of a Framework contract which has seen Anglian undertaking work in 13 different establishments throughout East Ayrshire and demonstrates the efficient and collaborative way that the partners have worked together.
