Sports Development at Christ’s Hospital School
We are delighted to announce that construction has commenced on an exciting new development for Christ’s Hospital School enhancing the campus with state-of-the-art sports facilities that will benefit both students and the members of Bluecoat Sports. This project marks the latest chapter in our longstanding relationship with the school.
Over the years, we have provided comprehensive Building Surveying, Quantity Surveying, and Project Management services, consistently delivering projects that align with the school’s vision and values.
From the outset, we worked closely with key stakeholders, including the school’s estate team and local authorities, to ensure the project met water neutrality requirements. By integrating advanced water-saving measures such as water recycling systems and selecting sustainable materials, we achieved full compliance without compromising on the quality, scope, or vision of the development.
Key Features of the Development include:
- Four Padel Courts: These state-of-the-art courts will introduce students and the wider community to Padel, a rapidly growing racket sport that combines elements of tennis, squash, and badminton.
- 400m, Six-Lane All-Weather Running Track: Designed to accommodate athletes of all levels, this facility will offer year-round opportunities for track events and training, enhancing the school’s athletic program.
- Outdoor ‘Get Active’ Adventure Trail: In line with the school’s focus on expeditionary education, the trail will be the first of its kind in the UK. It will serve as an eco-friendly and educational resource, encouraging both students and Bluecoat Sports members to engage in physical challenges that build not only fitness but also emotional resilience.
- New Access Road and Car Park: Improving the overall accessibility to the facilities, the new infrastructure will ensure ease of use for visitors, staff, and students, making the campus more functional and visitor-friendly.
As the Client Project Manager, Cost Consultant, and Principal Designer, we are responsible for overseeing the procurement and delivery of the project. Our team continues to work closely with the school’s estate team to ensure all regulatory requirements are met while meticulously managing the budget and timeline.
We look forward to continuing our partnership with Christ’s Hospital School and delivering a facility that not only meets their current needs but also enhances their long-term vision for athletic and recreational development.
