Permanent Sports Hall Proves Affordable for Kingsbury School

The school only expected its budget to cover a temporary hall, but we proved a permanent building was within reach.

“Working with Smart-Space was the easiest building project we have ever been involved in."

The Background

Kingsbury School initially went out to tender for a temporary sports hall with a PVC fabric roof, not expecting a permanent building to be within budget. After comparing building types and prices at the Smart-Space display site in Tamworth, it became clear that a permanent steel structure was more suitable for the school's needs – and more affordable than first thought.

The Solution

Smart-Space designed and built a permanent insulated steel sports hall with sports flooring, 40mm insulated roof and wall panels, double-glazed window panels, pedestrian access doors and long-life lighting.

Project Delivery

Smart-Space acted as principal contractor and provided a complete turnkey service. Ground conditions were assessed by an engineer before work began, ensuring the foundations met building control requirements. 

The team managed every phase of the project, including building control approval, CDM requirements, dig-out, base, foundations and construction. The finished hall was handed over ready for use within a few weeks.

The Outcome

Kingsbury School secured a permanent sports hall it had not expected to be able to afford. The completed building surpassed the school’s expectations, meets Basketball England requirements and is suitable for club badminton.

It gave the school and local community a robust, long-term facility rather than the temporary building originally planned.

Customer Feedback

Simon Cotton, Head teacher at Kingsbury School, said, 

"The Sports Hall has surpassed all our expectations and the project by far has been the easiest building project the school has been involved in due to the care and attention with which you operate.

"The facility will benefit both our local community and, more importantly, our school students for many years to come."
