Last week’s peer review demonstration event for Ysgol Ffwrnes proved once again that Welsh designers, engineers and builders are delivering value for the communities they serve and not just fulfilling the contractual obligations to their clients. Feedback from the presentation was excellent and matches the BREEAM Outstanding certification for its Design Stage. In fact it will be the first Primary School in Wales to be built to BREEAM Outstanding standards on its completion later this year.
What’s more it is well on track to meet all of its project targets. Contractor, WRW – one of the key supporters of CEW in West Wales – is delivering the project through Carmarthenshire Council's Modernising Education Programme. The £14.6 million new school in Llanelli is on target to finish in April 2015 and will provide two-form entry for 420 children. It has been funded by a £10.22 million Welsh Government grant, and £4.38 million from the council’s capital programme.
