Brockenhurst College, New Forest

PSS have recently completed 1245m² of 225mm beam and block for a new £4.9m Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Independence Hub at Brockenhurst College in the New Forest.
The new building will contain 14 new classrooms, social space, staff space, meeting rooms, a medical room, a hygiene room and a sensory room, among other facilities.

In addition, the 1,200 square-metre, single storey, modular structure will house the College’s existing Foundation Studies department.

Vice Principal Limor Feingold said: “This specialised facility will further enable young people with special educational needs and disabilities to share in the benefits of post-16 education.
“Inclusivity is a key value for us and this building epitomises who we are as a college.
“Our vision and core purpose to help people make the most of their lives through learning underpins our approach, helping ensure a brighter future for all our learners.”

The installation came with the standard logistical challenges. Specifically when planning, delivering and installing over 230t of precast T-beams and 137 packs of blocks.
As always, communication was key to success.

PSS are proud to be a part of this project which will provide much needed resources whilst increasing our services into the education sector and building on our working relationship with a valued customer.
