Newhaven College Performing Arts Centre

The Newhaven College Performing Arts Centre was designed to be a modern feature building located at the front of the site and seen by all who pass the location. The centre features a contemporary and striking facade while housing a state-of-the-art performing arts facility. A particular highlight of the building are the excellent acoustics, modern external design using a range of materials and cutting-edge technical specifications that are integrated seamlessly into the building. The design complements and improves the current buildings at the school and enhances the coastal environment Newhaven College is located. The facility has been embraced by the school and the community for a range of events.

​The renovation of the Newhaven College Performing Arts Centre called for some innovative and interesting combinations. The build required an innovative approach rather than the usual stereotypical school buildings. The design with its large learning spaces and flexible learning areas, makes it a bright and vibrant area for the students to nurture and grow with their early learning development. Bright colours, and new double-glazed windows to maximise light and minimise thermal intrusion provide a visual appeal both internally and externally. TS Constructions consultative approach and project management processes provided the client with a high level of responsiveness and flexibility.

Our Lady Star of the Sea

​The project was to seamlessly extend onto the original stage of the school and add four new classrooms, a large general learning space and two breakout rooms for specialist teaching, and a lift was installed. Externally an engineered roof structure was installed over the hardcourt area, and the carpark and the front entry was extended, which included the installation of an automatic sliding gate and rammed earth walls. Extensive landscaping which included a large camp kitchen, Bio basin, sensory gardens, a synthetic turf playfield and new play equipment. TS Constructions managed the entire project, which included site works, construction and finishing of the buildings, and final landscaping and civil works were completed in a safe and effective manner.
