A construction industry conference on Building Schools for the Future is being held on 3 March 2005 at BRE, Watford.
Described by Tony Blair as 'the greatest schools renewal programme in British history,' the £30 billion Building Schools for the Future programme to rebuild or refurbish every secondary school in England will have a huge impact on the construction industry.
Contractors, suppliers, offsite manufacturers and other construction industry professionals will be at the forefront of delivering this massive programme of work over the next 15 years. To help them to make the most of this opportunity, a conference on gaining access to the programme is being held on 3 March 2005 at BRE, Watford.
Unlike other events focussing on Building Schools for the Future, this conference will specifically address the hard construction issues involved and engage the construction supply chain. It will look at (full programme below):
- how the programme works
- how contractors, manufacturers and suppliers can get involved
- the lessons learned from those already involved in the programme
- accessing the funding and financial implications.
Leading speakers from the DfES and Partnerships for Schools will brief delegates on the progress and priorities of the programme. Pathfinder and Wave One LEAs will present their flagship schemes, and offsite construction experts will showcase the latest developments in modern construction methods. In addition, a leading architect will demonstarte how innovative design can transform the educational environment.
