Coleg Gwent refurbishment

The firm was appointed by client Coleg Gwent to manage a 拢150,000 capital works programme.

Work included the refurbishment of a biology laboratory and library at its Usk campus as well as an online assessment room and science block staff rooms at the Crosskeys campus.

The contract was part of RLB's appointment on the college鈥檚 framework panel to provide building surveying services.

The work included remodelling of existing space and removal of walls and rooms as well as stripping out and installation of new fixtures and fittings.

The team also managed the installation of suspended ceilings, lighting, decorations and cooling and heating systems.

Ross Uren, building surveyor at Rider Levett Bucknall, said: 鈥淚t has been very interesting to manage a project which improved the education environment for the youth of today and the management of tomorrow.鈥
