Bouygues lands £64m Crawley school rebuild

Bouygues UK has secured a £64m contract to rebuild Holy Trinity CofE Secondary School in Crawley under the Government’s School Rebuilding Programme.

Work is due to start this month on the phased redevelopment of the West Sussex school, which will remain operational throughout construction.

The main element of the scheme is a new 9,300 sq m three-storey teaching building on land to the south of the existing campus.

Pupils and staff will move into the new building before the existing facilities are demolished.

Bouygues will also refurbish the 1,500 sq m Young Building and deliver five multi-use games areas, landscaped recreation space and a new car park.

The redevelopment will increase capacity from around 1,410 pupils to 1,500 and is due to complete in late 2029.

New facilities will include an assembly hall, sixth-form hub, library and specialist teaching spaces.

Designed by Jestico + Whiles, the scheme is targeting BREEAM Excellent and will include rooftop solar panels, a ground-source heat pump and passive ventilation.
