Education Projects
AK Design have considerable experience of working within education. Contracts vary in value from £50k maintenance projects £1 - £5 million school extensions. We have provided many services to our clients which have been tailor made to their requirements services such as lead consultant, architectural services and building surveying services.
Each of the schools we have worked with have a certain amount of expansion they need to achieve to meet current legislation guidelines. This can depend upon the level of capital expenditure they are given which is either sourced through local authority/s government ways or from funds raised individually by the schools.
Once ascertained this capital can be used for generally maintenance and repairs to new one off classroom extensions or new classroom blocks, sports halls or external landscape changes and sensory gardens. All over the above we have been involved in throughout the years.

This was a new extension to increase the existing dining hall area. With a large external canopy linking this building to the existing main school building. This is a multi use space at all other times other than lunchtime so allows the school to have a much needed flexible indoor space if it’s raining outside and the children needed an indoor play area.
