Mace Group

Information

Mace is providing project management, cost consultancy and CDMC services for the new Rednock BSF One School Pathfinder in Dursley, Gloucester.

The new £30m school, commissioned by joint client Gloucester County Council and the school's governing body, is transformational in design embracing new ways of teaching in both formal and informal environments. The school has received grants from the Carbon Neutral Fund and the Faraday Programme and has become a DCSF science demonstrator school.  These grants have allowed the school to be highly sustainable incorporating a sedum roof, wind turbine, biomass boiler, photovoltaics, solar power and SUDS drainage.

The new Rednock School, constructed on the site of the former school, has stayed fully operational throughout the construction period by delivery through a sectional completion process. The new school became operational at the beginning of the 2009 academic year enabling the old school to be demolished to make way for the final section including a second grass pitch, basketball court, running track, habitat and extensive social areas to be completed in March 2010.

Mace was appointed on the project from the feasibility stages through design to the construction and completion stages. Mace has added value to the project, which has been delivered in time and on budget, through the use of specialist skills and experience, input from Mace Plus and Macro and the introduction of risk management workshops, whole life cost and value engineering.
