REPORT
In October 1991 the States approved, in principle, the remodelling and refurbishment of Hautlieu School, together with a separate provision to improve sports facilities that, at the time, were regarded as inadequate for delivery of the curriculum.
The redevelopment of Hautlieu School is progressing in two phases. The States Assembly approved the drawings for Phase 1, the construction of the school building, on 24th July 2001 and this was completed in April 2004.
Phase 2 will provide sports facilities on the site of the original school building, some of which were lost when Phase 1 was constructed. The provision of safe, modern and purpose built facilities is regarded as essential for curriculum based physical education opportunities for all students.
The new sports facilities are to be shared between Hautlieu School and Highlands College and will be available to the wider community. The development includes a sports hall, tennis courts, playing fields, access road and associated parking.
Within the sports building, the facilities will include a multi-purpose sports hall, fitness/aerobics/weight/circuit training facilities, together with the normal associated changing, administration and storage.
The Sports Facility, as now approved, will be of simple design and construction. The design is based on a two storey element at the western end of the building and the hall is a single volume. The building construction comprises a steel frame superstructure with cavity blockwork external walls, in situ concrete foundations and ground floor slab, metal decked concrete upper floor, sheet metal pitched roofs and proprietary flat roof finish to flat areas.
Given the need to seek value for money, the project has been driven by a brief which reflects both the standards provided by the U.K. Department for Education and Skills (DfES), Sport England Design Guides and Design Guidance Notes for sports halls and local requirements. To maximise usage, many of the spaces within the facility are multi-functional and will be available for use by the community. The Committee believes that the final design compares well with recognised sports standards and is appropriate in terms of the spaces provided.
It is currently anticipated that construction will begin during early February 2005 and will be completed by Easter 2006.
Within its capital vote C2574, the Committee has the sum of £26million to complete both phases of the work. This sum includes provision for inflation to completion of the project. Competitive tenders for the development are in the process of being obtained and it is anticipated that the Committee will have sufficient funds to proceed and to let the contract in January 2005.
Whilst the new facilities are a much-need enhancement on those in place previously, a number of elements of the development (e.g. the playing fields and the gym) have simply replaced facilities which existed beforehand. Additional revenue costs incurred (e.g. heating, lighting, cleaning and maintenance) will therefore be largely as a result of the increased floor space provided by the building. These additional costs will be contained within the Committee's revenue budget.
Manpower implications are largely restricted to managing the use of the centre by the Community. The Department's Sport and Leisure Division has a team in place dedicated to the efficient management of community sports facilities. The community aspects of the facility will be managed by this team within existing manpower levels.
Community use will also generate income, which will be used to offset revenue costs.
The Committee therefore asks the States to approve these drawings and to permit the project to proceed as planned.
