New kitchen for Amersham Memorial Gardens
Year 10 and 12 Construction students were involved in building a new kitchen at Amersham Memorial Gardens, as part of their 'hands-on' project work. Aylesbury Town commissioned the work and purchased the materials needed. It was down to Bucks UTC students to plan the project, from initial surveys, risk assessments, materials and tools required to fitting. The students also planned the layout of the kitchen, having installed it first in our construction area before installing in the gardens. Nick Han, Head of Construction at Bucks UTC, said: ‘We were delighted with the students’ very mature approach to this project. They were able to put into practice the skills and knowledge acquired as part of their training with us, and apply these to a real life project. They also had to work around the demands of their other commitments, such as assignments, assessments and lessons, and even worked through their half term break. ’Mark Richardson, Contracts Manager, Amersham Town Council, added: ‘We have been very pleased with the work and how the students conducted themselves in the public eye, and thank them on behalf of the Council. We look forward to a long working relationship with the UTC.’
