The school achieved a BREEAM rating of ‘very good’ and VINCI Construction UK was able to use its in-house Technology Centre to ensure the project was completed in a sustainable manner and to the highest standard.
Mr Ian Gage, Headteacher, High Storrs School, commented: "This award is well deserved. To their credit the large organisation that VINCI Construction UK is, managed to achieve a supportive close working relationship with the school and thereby ensured that our educational needs remained a priority throughout the project."
