HAMMERSMITH AND FULHAM BSF Client Design Advisor

Surface to Air Architects were appointed to act as Client Design Advisor (CDA) for London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, from the inception of its schools building programme through to its completion, performing a range of tasks to help ensure that the schools delivered are of the highest quality. We work with all 13 secondary school in the borough and also a number of primary schools. We help to define ways in which the council can develop and achieve its vision of a borough wide campus for learning. This involves liaising directly with the schools and key stakeholders through a consultation process, which includes the delivery of a series of workshops, presenta- tions, seminars and reference site visits in the UK and abroad. We work particularly closely with The Bridge Academy and Sacred Heart High School. We also identify key design issues and educational priorities with individual schools and created the school specific Education and Design Briefs. Our aim is to support the client with our expertise and equip them with the right tools for assessing design quality through the procurement process.
