Established in September 2018, Leigh Academy Blackheath welcomed its first set of pupils to an offsite location.
In September 2019, the school welcomed a further 360 pupils and additional staff into Bouygues UK’s temporary modular buildings on Leigh Academy Blackheath’s new location, immediately adjacent to the live construction site. Bouygues UK’s existing expertise in operating in a live environment allowed the year 7s and new year 8 cohort to be taught in class, whilst the school was effectively still being built.
In November 2020, Bouygues UK handed over Leigh Academy Blackheath, marking the end of a 21-month project to deliver a new secondary school for the local community in Blackheath, south London.
Leigh Academy Blackheath now includes a teaching block, accommodating general classrooms, specialist classrooms (science labs, DT, IT), offices, a fully fitted professional kitchen and dining area. In addition to this is the main hall block, accommodating the school’s main reception, music rooms, a drama studio, an assembly hall as well as internal sports facilities equipped with a specialist vinyl sports floor.
Changing the world requires something, and somewhere, out of the ordinary. Something to spark ideas, inspire creativity and out-of-the-box thinking. A space where you can dare to dream, experiment and share those ideas with a diverse community of academics, students, business, policy makers and more.
Located at Maindy Park in the heart of Cardiff, the Campus is the door to innovation at Cardiff University and provides cutting-edge facilities, helping researchers and students to work across disciplines and with partners to influence policy and build enterprises that create products, spin-outs, start-ups and social enterprises.
The state-of-the-art two new buildings Bouygues UK has built at Cardiff’s Innovation Campus include sbarc, designed by award-winning architects Hawkins\Brown, the world’s first social science research park, and the Innovation Centre – a creative space for start-ups, spin-outs and partnerships. The Translational Research Hub, designed by global architects HOK, is home to two world-leading scientific research establishments – the Institute for Compound Semiconductors and Cardiff Catalysis Institute.
As one of the first in the UK, the Proton Beam Therapy Centre will offer world-leading new radiotherapy to patients, targeting tumours more precisely, enabling the Trust to deliver ground-breaking treatment and strengthen its position as a leading national and international cancer centre.
The project comprises the design and construction of a 34,600m2 hospital building to house a world class cancer centre of excellence adjacent to the University College of London Hospital (UCLH) in Central London. The scheme integrates a range of specialist services to provide inpatient care linked to a Proton Beam Therapy unit (PBT) housed in a 25 metre deep basement. It also incorporates a new day surgery unit to replace the current facilities housed in the UCLH tower.
Above ground there is a modern, purpose-built inpatient facility built over seven storeys making the building height equivalent to that of London’s Tower Bridge.
Working as developer, Bouygues UK in conjunction with the London Borough of Newham, is delivering one of the most exciting and significant town centre regeneration projects in London’s Canning Town.
Forming part of the £3.7 billion Canning Town and Custom House Regeneration Programme, Hallsville Quarter is the new £600 million town centre that is being created to establish a lasting legacy for Canning Town. It will act as the catalyst for the transformation of the wider area, helping to form a new, thriving and prosperous district centre for this emerging area of east London.
This transformational scheme is being delivered over five phases and it will provide approximately 1,100 homes with a variety of tenures, over 30,000m2 of leisure and retail space, and community facilities. New pedestrian links and cyclist provision are also included, as well as 1,100 secure parking spaces.
Appointed by Carmarthenshire County Council to design and build Zone One of its prestigious Pentre Awel development, Bouygues UK is bringing together life science innovation, community healthcare and modern leisure facilities all at one prime location along the Llanelli coastline.
Not only is Pentre Awel the first development of its scope and size in Wales, but it is also one of the highest valued schemes the council has ever undertaken.
Located within 83-acres of land on the Llanelli coastline, the scheme will provide world-class medical research and health care delivery and support and encourage people to lead active and healthy lives creating over 1,800 jobs and boosting the local economy by £467million over the next 15 years.
Bouygues UK’s construction of this project will include integrated care and physical rehabilitation facilities, a well-being skills centre, and a new state-of-the-art leisure centre, along with education, research and business development space.
This Grade II listed former Royal London Hospital building has been brought back to community use as the new Town Hall and headquarters for the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. It is one of London’s oldest historic landmarks and has been at the heart of the borough’s history since it was opened to patients in 1740.
The design and construction of this purpose built Town Hall provides over 1,500 contemporary, flexible workspaces plus a range of meeting rooms and welfare facilities for council staff and other partners. The former hospital’s iconic street elevation has been restored with a new public entrance on the ground floor of the Grocers’ Wing.
Throughout the project, Bouygues UK will be employing methods intended to protect both heritage and the environment. The building will be awarded a BREEAM Excellent rating because of features such as optimised water consumption and the use of renewable energies to generate electricity.
Bouygues UK is building the new home for the University of Cambridge’s Department of Physics located on the West Cambridge campus.
The 32,900 m2 project which will be known as The Ray Dolby Centre, brings together, under one roof, fifteen different research groups.
The highly technical facility is designed over four floors and will provide clean rooms, cryostat halls, microscopy suites and laser and optical labs.
The laboratories span the whole of physics research and will serve as a national centre providing opportunities for collaborative use of facilities, research and instruments by other departments as well as partners in other universities and across the industry.
Bouygues UK has developed, designed and delivered the tallest residential building in the city centre of Bristol. The scheme, which overlooks Castle Park on the site of a former ambulance station and forms part of the city’s major regeneration plans, was delivered by Bouygues UK in agreement with Homes England, Bristol City Council, M&G Real Estate and Abri.
The landmark 26-storey residential tower provides 375 new homes, comprising 300 one and two-bedroom private rented sector homes apartments and 75 affordable homes, spanning a gross internal floor area of 29,373m2.
Castle Park View is located to the south east of Castle Park, which is Bristol’s largest urban green space. Positioned on the site of a medieval castle and the culverted River Frome, with close proximity to the main A4044, Cabot Circus shopping centre and nearby offices, the project presented a complex set of constraints and considerations.
In line with Bristol City Council’s usual planning requirements, we produced a comprehensive Construction Management Plan, which detailed all aspects of our construction methodology including safety and traffic management.
