RLX completed key projects over the school holidays, with significant progress made across multiple sites. These projects are part of our continued commitment to improving educational and healthcare facilities, working efficiently within tight deadlines to ensure minimal disruption to our clients.
Leeds College Project: Enhancing Educational Spaces
One of our projects is underway in Leeds, where we are constructing an internal structural steel extension that will create additional teaching spaces. This project also includes the refurbishment of existing classrooms and the installation of glazed curtain walling, designed to bring natural light into the classrooms.
The external portion of the work was successfully completed over the summer holidays, ensuring that access for staff and students will not be compromised when they return for the new term. Internal works on the extension will continue during the school term, and we’re coordinating closely with the college to ensure minimal disruption.
In addition we have completed important fire safety upgrades in Lincoln and Newark which included:
- Replacement of fire doors
- Installation of new fire walls & glazing
- Installation of new fire alarms
- Fire barrier improvements
- Ceiling and decoration works
We would like to extend a big thank you to our dedicated team and partners who made this progress possible within the tight deadlines.
