We’re delighted to officially be on-site and making significant progress at Barking & Dagenham College to deliver two exciting new projects — a Science Laboratory in Block A and a brand-new EV Workshop.
Each facility has been thoughtfully designed to support cutting edge learning and promote sustainable innovation. The Science Laboratory will undergo full internal refurbishment and structural works, and will be fitted with specialist furniture, fume cupboards, a Microlift, and Konetic pods creating a modern, high-performance environment for science education.
Meanwhile, the EV Workshop will offer state-of-the-art facilities for electric vehicle training, featuring a new structural frame, practical teaching classrooms, full MEP installation, and external works providing learners with hands on experience in a future-focused setting.
Ben Tomkinson, Managing Director of R1 Construction, said: "We’re proud to be partnering with Barking & Dagenham College and Academy Estate Consultants on these forward thinking projects. The new Science Laboratory and EV Workshop will provide students with access to cutting edge facilities that reflect the demands of modern industry helping to equip them with the skills and experience needed for real world careers in science and sustainable technologies."
