Work has commenced on the contract involving an extensive modernisation and extension project to its new building on Upper Oldfield Park in Bath, just east of the city centre. Once completed this new site will become the hub of the Norland College training, which is currently delivered on its London Road location.
The Victorian era villa, which has been acquired by the College from the neighbouring Hayesfield Girls’ School, is being extensively modernised and extended to provide new educational facilities for the Norland students. The new facilities will include on-site kitchens, purpose designed simulated nursery facilities, numerous teaching spaces and a spacious student common area for study and recreation.
The Victorian building is four storeys in height and will offer nine teaching spaces of different sizes, providing a range of teaching environments for the Norland students.
The project is a challenging build that will require careful and considerate working, in particular to retain and preserve existing features of the historic building.
