Providing you with outstanding learning environments and over 25 years of expertise, experience and innovation...

Over the last 25 years, Yorkon has worked closely with LEAs, schools, colleges, contractors, consultants and architects to successfully complete a wide range of innovative projects in the education sector. With this proven track record, the Yorkon building system provides you with flexibility of design and service, which makes it ideal for a wide range of education uses.

Remove the guess work from your building project

When you choose a Yorkon solution, you can expect new, purpose-designed educational facilities in up to half the time of traditional construction. And that’s just the beginning…

With only 63% of projects delivered on time and only 49% delivered to budget, traditional build fails to meet the major challenges facing the education sector.

 In contrast, over the last 5 years, Yorkon has improved the percentage of projects delivered on time and on budget from 94% to 100% in 2005.

• Everything from complete schools to classroom extensions –  Offering you flexible, architectural space and design, the Yorkon building system has proven an ideal choice for the education sector. Buildings can be designed to complement existing facilities or provide a modern appearance. Uses include Primary & Early Years, Secondary Education, and Further and Higher Education.
• From BSF projects right through to ITC enabled classrooms – We can incorporate everything from child-friendly buildings with low level facilities, to higher education establishments with the latest IT facilities.
• Flexibility of space – Changing pupil numbers can quickly affect a school. We believe that modern school buildings should assist teachers and pupils by providing comfortable, flexible spaces. This means layouts that can be reconfigured for changing class sizes or uses.
• Speed – Innovative building projects delivered in up to half the time of traditional construction. So you can enjoy a faster return on your investment.
• A cleaner, safer site – When building on school and university sites, safety is paramount. Compared to HSE statistics on the safety of traditional construction methods, Yorkon solutions increase site safety by 46%.  Our buildings are constructed in a controlled factory environment, so you can expect 90% fewer vehicle movements and a shorter programme – giving you a safer, cleaner site and minimal disruption to your staff and pupils.
• Complete project management or working partnerships – Yorkon can provide a complete construction service including design, planning, health and safety, foundations, construction, fitting out and commissioning. Alternatively, we can work in partnership with design consultants, clients, contractors or end-users.
• Environmental advantages – Yorkon can incorporate everything you need to create a low-level use building. This includes, maximising natural daylight, natural ventilation for fresh air supplies, solar control and sun pipes. Resulting in a building that offers you outstanding energy efficiency to reduce bills and running costs.
