Colmers School, Birmingham

As part of the DfE strategic framework, Interserve Construction Limited was awarded a £7m contract by Birmingham City Council for a new three storey teaching block, housing a drama room, gym, music rooms and general classrooms. The new building replaces a 1940s block that will eventually become a new car park for the school. Stortford Interiors were awarded a wide ranging scope that included 1,500m2 of Metsec SFS infill to the external façade and various BG partitions with acoustic performance requirements between classroom, drama rooms and music rooms. The expansive package scope also included upwards of 2000m2 of 600 x 600 lay-in-grid suspended ceilings and plasterboard mass barriers to soffits.
