It will provide accommodate up to 60 students, aged between 16 and 19, with severe and complex learning difficulties, including autism.
Interserve Construction project manager, who is overseeing the Hereford school project, Dan Harmer said: “I am really proud to be involved in Beacon College. This worthwhile project will hopefully benefit the DfE & Barrs Court Trust, but more importantly improve the lives of young adults with severe learning difficulties to ready them for life beyond education.
“The Interserve team have spent months planning the scheme in readiness for starting on site. We have amended some of those plans to comply with Covid-19 guidance.
“We are ready for the challenge ahead and have made every effort to work with consultants and the supply chain to programme the works, so that we don’t impact the end date for the client.”
