Wellacre Academy

​

Client:  Trafford Council

Project Value:  £8.3million including fit-out

Main Contractor:  J C Turner & Sons, Preston

 

Ansell & Bailey and JC Turner & Sons delivered this stunning new Sixth Form Centre at Wellacre Academy.

 

As a vocational college majoring in the media, the arts and construction technology, the brief explicitly called for the building to showcase both good design and good building practice.

 

A highlight of the atrium is the rich texture of the three storey concrete wall where ripped timber planks were used as shuttering showing that exposed concrete can be a decorative feature.
