LUC secures planning permission for new classroom at King Edward’s School
We are pleased to announce that LUC has secured planning permission for a major new classroom, science lab and Sixth Form Centre development at the prestigious King Edward’s School in Birmingham.
The new building, designed by BDP Architects, will form the central core of the Boys’ School and will create an extension to the Science Department, providing new classrooms, a Biology laboratory and a Sixth Form centre. Existing teaching facilities will also be refurbished to replace the existing science laboratory building, which is to be demolished as part of the scheme. LUC also provided detailed ecological advice in relation to bats.
Matt Barrett, Director of Operations at the Schools of King Edward VI, said: ‘as always, LUC have made the process pain free for us as the end user.’
LUC has been working with the Schools of King Edward VI since 2008, initially to provide planning advice to support applications for planning and conservation area consent for the development of a modern Performing Arts Centre at the Schools, which was approved in 2009, and then to implement the sequence of projects set out in the Schools’ masterplan, the first of which was a new classroom block for the Girls’ School, which was approved by Birmingham City Council in July 2011.
