Tilbury Douglas to lead the construction of the Shrewsbury Academy Project

Tilbury Douglas, a leading UK building, infrastructure, engineering and fit-out business, has been appointed to lead the construction of the Shrewsbury Academy Project on behalf of the Department for Education.

The project includes the construction of a new Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths (STEM) block, as well as refurbishment works throughout the current campus to allow the school to expand from 850 pupils to 1,200 pupils. The scheme will incorporate the currently vacant Sundorne Infant School site, which sits adjacent to the existing secondary school.

In addition, a new landscaped central quadrangle will form part of the project.

Simon Butler, Regional Building Managing Director – Midlands at Tilbury Douglas, commented: “We look forward to working with other key stakeholders to ensure the new and updated buildings are delivered to the highest quality for Shrewsbury Academy. This will enable the Academy to offer first-class educational facilities to an even greater number of local students.”
