New Primary School Design and Build in Carlisle

Thomas Armstrong (Construction) Ltd was appointed to deliver the design and build of a new single-storey primary school for Houghton C of E School in Carlisle. The project involved the full construction of a modern education facility to replace the school’s former building, with updated infrastructure and learning space to support long-term local growth.

The new school includes multiple classrooms, a hall, kitchen, staff offices and shared learning areas, along with full M&E installation, external play zones and soft landscaping. The new site was designed with flexibility in mind and aligns with current Department for Education guidelines to support efficient teaching delivery and energy performance.
