Hoare Lea has been appointed by BAM to provide MEP services to assist with the completion of design and construction of the £32 million Chobham Academy.
Designed by Allford Hall Monaghan Morris architects, the 15000m2 Chobham Academy is located within the Athletes’ Village, which lies adjacent to the Olympic Park. During the Olympic and Paralympic Games it will be used to provide space for support facilities.
After the Games, Chobham Academy will be used as an education campus providing integrated facilities for children from three to eighteen years. The Academy’s specialism has been defined as Literature and the Performing Arts and community music and drama facilities will be located on the new public square.
The project is targeting a BREEAM ‘Very Good’ rating. Key features include natural ventilation, site wide energy integration and earth ducts. Chobham Academy is due for completion in summer 2011.
