Scenario:
St George’s College is an Academy school in Newtown, a large metropolitan area in the north of England. The Governors of St George’s College have decided to alter and extend the existing sports pavilion in order to provide ‘A caretaker’s self-contained flat and committee room’. The flat accommodation must accommodate:
The new committee room should be able to accommodate a maximum of 80 members for meeting purposes. When not in use for Club meetings the room should have the flexibility to be used for training sessions and seminars. This involves building works that need to take place over the summer holidays when the school is closed. Mrs Sharma is the client and Chair of Governors. She is dealing directly with the architect who has drawn up some outline plans.
This is her first school development project. The head teacher of St George’s College, Mrs Smith, is not very happy with the amount of consultation that has taken place on the design and feels that the ideas of staff have not been taken into account enough.
The college is in a densely populated inner city area and there are houses right next door which will be affected by the works and the owners have already expressed concern about the noise and disruption. The neighbours either side of the school (Mr and Mrs Marshall on one side and Mr Callaghan on the other) are particularly vocal and have petitioned the council.
It is December and the works need to be completed and furnished ready for occupationn by the end of August of the following year.
