PROJECT
LIMAVADY SHARED EDUCATION CAMPUS
TRANSFORMING A PIPE DREAM INTO A REALITY
MAINTAINING HEAT AND WATER SUPPLIES FOR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS WAS A CHALLENGE FOR SCOTT & EWING LTD DURING WORKS TO CREATE NORTHERN IRELAND’S FIRST SHARED EDUCATION CAMPUS…
A remote containerised boiler room was among solutions deployed by Scott & Ewing Ltd to ensure heat and water supplies were uninterrupted during construction work to create Northern Ireland’s first shared education campus. Involving alteration and extension works totalling 5,400sqft to the adjacent sites of Limavady High School and St Mary’s High School, the £7.8m project got underway in April 2021, with classes and activities for 1,400 students ongoing amid construction. The project required close, regular contact with principals of the two schools
to ensure they were kept up to date with the works programme. And further complicating the timeline and logistics was a mid-project visit by former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as part of the 25th anniversary Good Friday Agreement celebrations. Works were carried out in two distinct phases, commencing at Limavady High School, where the front of the school was demolished to create a new entrance, office accommodation, staff rooms and STEM building. Adjoining science and general classrooms on the ground floor were also upgraded.
Services to the new and upgraded rooms were extended beyond the previous provision with the addition of new CAT5 water supplies and appropriate plant installed in the existing boiler house. New BMS controls were installed to control the new extension and upgraded accommodation. Raymond Scott, Contract Manager at Scott & Ewing Ltd, said, “As we were working essentially in a live school environment, great care, forward planning and co-ordination were required to maintain heat and water supplies at all times.
