Beard delivers school and leisure improvements in the royal borough of Windsor and Maidenhead

- Works at Cox Green Leisure Centre, Clewer Green CE First School and Maidenhead Rugby Club totaling £2.7 million

11 June 2010: Regional construction company Beard has begun work on a second important project for the Royal Borough – a new £1.3 million leisure centre at Cox Green in Maidenhead (pictured) which will create important new facilities for the school and local community.  

The striking two-storey building with a curving roofline will include a 42-station fitness suite, multi-purpose dance studio and changing rooms, with facilities for officials and referees using nearby football pitches and, importantly, for people with disabilities.

The contract follows a project at Clewer Green CE First School, Hatch Lane, Windsor, which is due to be completed in July. Comprising a new school hall, three new classrooms, as well as toilets, kitchens and associated services, the £1 million project will provide important improvements for children and staff.

Over in Braywick Park, Beard is also on site at another project in the area, this time for Maidenhead Rugby Club where the company is extending and refurbishing facilities in time for the new season in a contract valued at £400,000. 

All three projects involve challenging programmes and occupied sites requiring careful management to ensure public safety. This has been particularly important at Clewer Green School and is also an ongoing factor for the construction teams at Cox Green Leisure Centre, where access to the site on Highfield Lane is through Cox Green School, and at Maidenhead Rugby Club where a busy programme of activity continues until the season closes.

Beard Construction Director John Youle commented: “We’re pleased with our growing success in expanding our operations into the Windsor and Maidenhead area and particularly pleased with the growing relationship we have with the Royal Borough. Education and leisure are two sectors that are holding up reasonably well in the current climate and we are cautiously optimistic for the future.”
