New premises are being built for Merchants Academy Primary and Venturers鈥� Autistic Spectrum Condition Schools in Bristol, bringing both schools together onto the site of the Merchants Academy Senior School in Withywood.
The Scott Brownrigg-designed building will use entirely off-site manufactured components for the building superstructure, in line with Scott Brownrigg and Galliford Try鈥檚 Optimum Schools concept. This follows on from the two companies鈥� recent handover of Kingsteignton and Westclyst Primary schools in Exeter.
Venturers鈥� Academy will be the first state-funded school in Bristol for students with a primary diagnosis of autism.
The 拢12.5m contract was procured through the Education & Skills Funding Agency鈥檚 national framework. The schools are scheduled to be handed over to the Venturer鈥檚 Trust in time for the next school year starting in September 2020.
