New contract award: Yeoman Park Academy, Mansfield

Caxton Builders is pleased to announce a new contract award working with BAM Construction Ltd. Yeoman Park Academy in Mansfield is a 12-week project for our team commencing in spring 2024. 

Yeoman Park Academy will fully cater for the needs of up to 138 pupils aged between three and 19 years with autism spectrum disorder and profound and multiple learning difficulties and disabilities. The development will replace all existing accommodation to provide new facilities within one and two storey buildings.

With a value of £280k, the project includes supply and fix masonry subcontract package consisting of external façade facing brickwork and internal blockwork partitions, and liftshaft at the new academy building.

Two and Single Storeys

In addition to the high-quality teaching spaces, facilities will include a hydrotherapy pool, hall, multi-use games area and sensory gardens – with the potential for community use, in line with the long-term vision of the Academy.

The building form is arranged in two teaching wings that stem from the main building spine, creating a protected courtyard, with the rear of the building form creating a link to the outdoor facilities. The building mass is varied and includes both two and single storeys, which reduces the visual dominance of the built form.

Local Brick Tones

The materials palette draws on local brick tones, consisting of a mainly red brick, with areas of the façade emphasised by vertical cladding. Grey framed windows with dark brick dividing panels create an elegance to the façade proportions.

We are pleased to be working with highly valued client BAM Construction Ltd on this scheme and looking forward to works commencing on site in spring 2024.
