New Academy Build Update
Project Update
Hello, I am Steve Olajide and am part of the Leadbitter construction team who are building the new school buildings at Hampton Academy. I meet regularly with Mr. Hayes and other members of staff at the Academy to give them updates on the progress of the project and will now be writing on your school webpage so students, parents, carers and friends of Hampton Academy can keep up-to-date with how the project is going. 
One of the two Lower College Buildings are now taking shape
Where are we at present?Phase one of construction is now at the last phase of the Reinforced Concrete frame work of the building. This means that the main structure of the building is now in place and you can really begin to imagine what the new colleges will look like when finished. 
View from Dean Road. Our neighbours have been amazed at the progress of the project.
Which buildings are you making at the moment?We have commenced the Met-Sec framing on the two lower college buildings which is the first stage of the external cladding. We are also currently in the process of constructing building F which is identified as the performing arts studio extension. This work is visible in the current Performing Arts rooms. What has been finished already?The current car park being used by visitors to the academy was completed as per programme on 9th September 2011.

All the temporary learning accommodation was completed on programme. Feedback shows that students and teachers, particularly those from Wordsworth College, are very pleased with.

I will be keeping you all updated via this blog. Please make sure you visit the buildings update pages that can be found to the left of the homepage. Make sure you visit the 'Fly-Through' video from time-to-time too as it will help you imagine what the new school will look like when finished. Steven Olajide |
