Westminster, LondonWestminster School

The project converted a dilapidated Army facility into a music

department for a public school in the centre of Westminster, London.

Generally the building required substantial renovation including new

mechanical and electrical installations, a new roof and re-levelled

floors and ceilings. The challenges of a landlocked site with limited space

were overcome when the basement was extended to

provide additional space.

The ground and upper floors were converted into

performance areas and lecture rooms.

The acoustic performance of the building was critical and

sound insulation; reverberation measures and sound

attenuation were also installed.

GNA were selected in a consultant surveyor capacity during phase 1

and now also for phase 2 of the multi-million pound works for the

construction of the N.E.T system in Nottingham and its subsequent

extension.

As principle Party Wall surveyor; GNA were commissioned to handle

boundary disputes and issues that invoked the application of the Party

Wall Act during construction and planning.

The nature of the works undertaken combined with the scope

of residential and commercial properties affected by the

works, meant it was vital that any boundary disputes were

resolved swiftly and professionally.

GNA’s expertise in boundary dispute resolution and that of

being one of only a select few Party Wall surveyors in the

East Midlands, made us the perfect choice.

Due to the length of time the building had remained unoccupied, it had

fallen into a derelict state.Structurally, the existing structure had to be restabilised and

extensive repairs had to be made to the roof structure.

Internally, the grade II listing building was retrofitted to modern

standard creating a comfortable and high quality feel to the rooms.
