On 12 March, Oundle School held a topping out ceremony on the roof of SciTec to mark the completion of the external structure of the new SciTec Campus development.
The ceremony was attended by guests, including staff from the School and representatives from Kier, the construction company.
The development of the SciTec Campus (due to open in September 2016) completes the original vision for the award-winning science complex of SciTec which was built in 2007. It sees the construction of a new Mathematics department, new Science labs and a complete refurbishment of the Patrick Engineering Centre. It will link Science, Mathematics, Design, Technology and Engineering both physically and philosophically, providing state-of-the-art facilities for tomorrow’s scientists and engineers.
The School is extremely grateful to all donors for their commitment to educating the scientists and engineers of the future. The aim is to provide practical hands-on experience, with pupils able to move seamlessly from theory to practice and from pure science to the achievement of workable technology, whilst embracing new fields such as nanotechnology and mechatronics.
