Education

Places of learning need people of knowledge to create them. Bailey Partnership provides multi-discipline design, cost and project management services covering all areas of education - nurseries, children's centres, primary, secondary and independent schools, academies, further education colleges and universities. Within these areas we have experience of SureStart, Primary Capital and Academies programmes. Our work for numerous universities and colleges across the country includes general academic accommodation, libraries and resource centres, laboratories, sports and leisure facilities and market-leading student accommodation.

Fully understanding our clients' ethos and aspirations is the key to our success. Developing space that is flexible, environmentally sound, inspiring and conducive to learning and study is complex. It requires an up-to-date understanding of trends in learning environments, virtual learning applications, pupil safeguarding requirements and a range of other challenges, as well as the skills and experience to engage stakeholders. Consultation is critical and we work extensively with user groups and multiple stakeholders, including teachers, pupils and students, lifelong learning providers, the community and other agencies to ensure projects reflect a thorough understanding of the context, the people, the education process and Government policy.

We understand the specific challenges and constraints that Educational clients face when embarking on a project - funding bids and applications, financial control, risk management, construction planning and phasing and minimising disruption to existing facilities. From extensive experience, we also understand the constraints on maintenance and repair works in Educational facilities.

Working within challenging budgets and programmes, our teams deliver innovative solutions to create flexible and sustainable buildings that support the emphasis on learning rather than teaching, inspire initiative and optimise potential in safe surroundings.
