Gilbert-Ash is scheduled to move on site on 21st February with the scope of works including the demolition of existing buildings and the construction of a 400-seat multifunctional theatre, dance and drama studio, and classrooms.
Completion is expected in February 2024.
This is Gilbert-Ash’s third major project in Brighton – it recently handed over a new business school to the local university.
The new development is within a conservation area, alongside listed buildings. The project has been named Project 175 to celebrate the 175th anniversary of the college.
Gilbert-Ash managing director said: “This is a school steeped in history and academic excellence having recently been awarded the title of School of the Decade by the Sunday Times. Under the leadership of headmaster Richard Cairns, the school has embarked on an ambitious 10-year masterplan of new buildings with the new performing arts building being the final act in that substantial plan.”
