Kier signs contract for £54m Isle of Sheppey Academy

20 May 11 Kier has signed the contract for Kent County Council’s £54m Isle of Sheppey Academy.

The project, which was formerly part of the Kent Building Schools for the Future LEP1 programme, involves construction across two sites on the east and west of the island, to serve 2,450 students.

The academy will specialise in business, enterprise and sport and its facilities will also include a media suite and dance studios.

It will be built to a renewable energy strategy aimed at reducing emissions by 60% compared with 2002 building regulation standards.

“As a company committed to providing first class learning establishments for the 21st century, Kier is particularly proud to be involved with the delivery of this landmark scheme,” said Kier Group chief executive Paul Sheffield.

Construction work on both sites in Sheppey has just started with completion due by August 2013.
