We also understand the critical importance of integrating construction activities with the sensitive environment in which students, teachers and support staff operate. Ridge design and manage complex projects within this exacting environment. Segregation between the project and the school’s activities is paramount, and our approach will always ensure that the students and their needs are our priority. Ridge can help improve the learning environment by sharing our experience in providing flexible, tailored solutions to improve the ever-changing and improving independent school sector – we have delivered a wide range of facilities from sixth form centres to boarding houses, leading edge science buildings, kitchen facilities, sports centres and teaching space. We are committed to exploring whole life and life cycle costings, not just focusing on the capital cost of a project.
