BDP to design Telford & Wrekin Academy
The contract to design the Abraham Darby Sport and Learning Academy at Ironbridge in Telford has gone to Manchester's BDP. It will work with Kier Construction on the scheme, which is part of the Telford Building Schools for the Future (BSF) project. The design combines a 1,050 place academy, sponsored by the Haberdashers' Livery Company, with a 420-place primary school and a community leisure centre, set on a sloping site at the gateway to the Ironbridge world heritage site.
