Co-op Academy Smithies Moor

The refurbishment of Co-op Academy Smithies Moor required careful planning to deliver a modern, high-quality learning environment while minimising disruption to students, staff, and daily school operations. Working within a live educational setting meant all activities had to be safely coordinated around term times, lesson schedules, and access restrictions.

The project also involved upgrading ageing infrastructure, improving internal spaces, and ensuring all works met current compliance, safeguarding, and energy-efficiency standards. Tight programme deadlines and the need to maintain a safe, clean, and functional campus throughout the works added further complexity.

Through close collaboration with the client, school leadership team, and supply chain partners, the challenges were successfully managed to create an enhanced environment that supports learning for years to come.
