LIMAVADY SHARED EDUCATION CAMPUS

from Hillary Clinton.” Woodvale’s work programme was adapted to prepare for the ceremony. Numerous meetings were held with the Secret Service to facilitate the visit by an “important visitor”. Hard landscaped areas were prepared for the unveiling of the ceremonial benches. The inspection unearthed a forgotten time capsule in the roof eaves, which had to be x-rayed and returned to its hiding place to be opened in 2030. Hamilton Architects designed the campus, with a new, shared entrance area and facilities. The six phases were split between the two campuses and included a new learning support centre; shared sixth form careers, drama, media campus; technology room refurbishments; STEM centre, science and technology classroom refurbishment; and new admin offices and a boardroom. Segregated construction works prioritised health and safety, with Woodvale achieving its target of zero accidents on site.

The site team was managed by Wesley Lindsay and Alan Heaney, who both worked closely with the school principals to minimise pupil disruption at all times. Managing the project budget created further complexity, with Woodvale Quantity Surveyor Pauric Kelly essentially running two projects with separate BOQs for the clients representing each school, the Council for Catholic Maintained Schools and Controlled Schools’ Support Council. Winner of the CEF Social Value Project of the Year 2022, Woodvale reinforced its commitment to supporting local communities during the LSEC project, donating coats, hats, gloves and scarfs to the Limavady Social Supermarket. And its efforts to maintain community relations during works in a busy town centre were recognised with an Excellent Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) score of 43 for the project. Rita Moore of St Mary’s Limavady and Darren Mornin of Limavady High School said,

“Woodvale Construction is a company who understand how schools work. They made every effort to ensure teaching and learning was uninterrupted and even found ways to manage school buses arriving on site.”
