Torquay Academy New Classrooms

Torquay Academy is an over-subscribed non-selective 11 to 18 school based at Cricketfield Road, Torquay. The new school building was opened in 2010. In January 2017, a feasibility report was carried out by Torbay Council and Torbay Development Agency (TDA) to identify options for the provision of an additional six number classrooms. Approval has now been given by Torbay Council, the funders for the project, to proceed with the preferred option, Option 1. The six number classroom two storey extension with void under, is required to be open at the start of the summer term in April 2018. Further-competition tenders for the Design Team services, namely: • Architect including Principal Designer • Civil and Structural Engineer Stride were successful for the Architect and HLM for the Civil and Structural Engineer.
