Edmond Shipway, the Nottingham based multi-disciplinary construction consultants have been appointed mechanical and electrical consultants on a £4.5m project to create improved sports facilities for Great Marlow School in Marlow, Buckinghamshire. 

Designed by Birmingham architects, Peter Taylor Associates, the new facilities will include a new four court sports hall with state-of-the-art fitness and dance studios along with an all- weather artificial surface pitch for football and hockey use.  There will also be an extension to the existing play area to accommodate two further tennis courts.

A new access road will be created for the sports hall together with a new coach park. Modifications and improvements will also be made to the existing school entrance and additional car parking will be created for staff and visitors. 

Ashley Allsop, associate director at Edmond Shipway commented "It is a great opportunity to incorporate low-carbon design into a school facility."

The project is due to be completed by November 2012.
