Education

Scott Wilson brings creative innovative ideas and a wealth of experience to bear in delivering schools, colleges, universities and research facilities which meet the new challenges in education. We work closely with our clients to address their particular needs alongside other professional partners in development teams. We can offer a total integrated planning architectural and engineering service or contribute particular services by our multidisciplinary specialists. 

Scott Wilson is planning a major role in the Government's Building Schools for the Future programme which aims to raise educational attainment and promote wider community usage rebuilding or refurbishing all secondary schools and by constructing new Academies and primary schools.

We are working with the schools to address the need for:

• Stimulating, welcoming safe environments
• Sustainability
• Flexible usage
• Operationally efficient layouts
• Economy
• Adaptable space and ICT provision

Extensive development of facilities at universities and colleges of further education is being undertaken to achieve Government targets for increased access and we are bringing the same creative approach we have used on schools to the challenges they pose.

We provide multidisciplinary services embracing project management, architecture, planning and masterplanning, landscape design, and transport planning, structural, civil and geotechnical engineering and building services. We also provide independent certified and due diligence vetting services on PPP/PFI schemes. Our integrated approach to sustainability in design ensures high BREEAM assessment scores and our sustainability assessment teams are in high demand as a stand-alone service. We have a strong environmental capability in support of our planning teams which includes ecology and archaeology. Our acoustics teams are at the forefront of the industry's approach to achieving high acoustic standards within constraints imposed by the demands of sustainability and our pedestrian modellers offer guidance on improvements to student movements within buildings.

Our clients include procuring organisations, funders, SPVs and constructors.
