Earthworks package for Mick George at giant campus

Mick George Ltd has won a major earthworks package to help pave the way for  Cambridgeshire’s largest education campus.

Mick George is working on behalf of Acrabuild (Anglia) UK on phase one of the Northstowe Education Campus build on the former RAF Oakington base to the northwest edge of Cambridge.

The first £45m phase of the campus includes a secondary school, a multipurpose school hall / theatre space and drama studios, a sports hall large enough for four tennis courts, a gym, two dance studios, an all-weather floodlit football pitch and a 110-place Special Education Needs (SEN) school.

The site will also contain a 400-place sixth form college co-located with the secondary school, a primary school and a nursery, an eight-court indoor sports hall, gymnasium, café, fitness studios and outdoor community sports facilities.

Timing of these phases will be dependent upon the pace of housing development and demand for places from families moving into the catchment area.

This sustainable new development will host up to 10,000 new homes and an anticipated population of around 24,400 people.

Michael George, Managing Director at Mick George Ltd said: ‘’Working on education facilities comes with its challenges.

“The fact that our services have been utilised so frequently on some of the most high-profile builds in that sector throughout our operating regions is a testament to the high level of quality and detail we assign to all of our contracts.

“This is yet another exciting scheme that we’re pleased to be involved with.’’
