Proposed Expansion to Roundhay School in Leeds

MJM are delighted to be working with Interserve on a multi-million pound project at Roundhay School in Leeds. The project provides them with a brand new school building incorporating a large multi-use drama and lecture theatre. The grounds are also undergoing a dramatic transformation including all-weather sports pitches that have been developed in consultation with Sports England. The structure is a multi-storey steel braced frame supporting precast concrete floors with a lightweight roof structure. Reinforced concrete retaining walls are required to form the split level ground floor to the structure, which in part cuts into the existing landscape. A separate foul and surface water drainage system is designed to be independent from the existing school drainage system and connects into the adopted drainage infrastructure. The new facility is being designed and detailed to BIM level 2.Boris Johnson visited the site of new train manufacturing centre.
