CONSTRUCTION AND CIVIL ENGINEERING ACADEMY

WARRINGTON & VALE ROYAL COLLEGE

Warrington & Vale Royal College appointed John Turner Construction to design and build its new Construction and Civil Engineering Academy, part of Warrington’s Town Deal initiative. This innovative facility will equip students with vital skills in construction, civil engineering and green technology, to meet local workforce needs.

Built as a single-storey structure with workshop areas and classrooms, the academy prioritises hands-on learning and flexible spaces that support collaboration between students, lecturers and industry professionals. The Green Technology Hub within the academy focuses on teaching sustainable practices across the construction, digital and engineering sectors.

Features include a redesigned vehicular access to improve campus safety, PV panels for sustainable energy along with washrooms and welfare areas for enhanced student comfort. Our team ensured that construction progressed smoothly around key college dates, such as open days and GCSE examinations, with minimal disruption to daily activities. Careful planning and scheduling allowed college operations to continue uninterrupted. Strict safety measures, including clear segregation of construction areas, were implemented to protect students, staff and visitors throughout the project.

This project reflects the college’s commitment to sustainable, skills-focused education, ready to bolster Warrington’s economic resilience and create lasting benefits for students, industry and the broader community.

” I would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to your entire team who were responsible for delivering such a successful project. We would especially like to recognise the dedication and commitment your team gave the project which was completed with minimal disruption to our hospital functions. ”

” The project has been a real success and this is due to the professional and well organised manner in which John Turner’s staff conducted themselves. There was excellent communication with a priority for safeguarding the pupils and staff at all times. “

” It is extremely refreshing to know that the enthusiasm, professionalism, dedication and humour is still available in the right proportions to make things happen in the construction industry. What is most pleasing is that at all times, the requirements of the Client and Church of England Pensions Boards as the end-user was paramount. Collectively, we have achieved completion on time, a building within budget and in some areas exceeded the client’s expectations. “

” Just a line to express my thanks and appreciation of your sterling efforts to secure the completion of this project within the agreed programme. I am impressed by both the attitude and approach of your organisation.
