About our new home
Cardiff Council has announced that ISG has been selected as the preferred bidder for the design and build of our new joint education campus, to be located in the Fairwater area of the city. Three new build schools will be located on one site, becoming home to Cantonian High School, Riverbank School and Woodlands High School.
The project will be the largest, in scale and investment, of Cardiff's education developments delivered under Cardiff Council and Welsh Government's Band B Sustainable Communities for Learning Programme.
ISG will undertake the detailed design and build process for the scheme, including the temporary accommodation associated with the works. The trailblazing development for Cardiff will set the standard for future school projects.
It is Cardiff's first school campus to be operationally Net Zero Carbon,
also targeting significant reduction in embodied carbon during build stage of the project. This means the three schools will be highly energy efficient buildings that are powered from renewable energy sources, enabling Cardiff to deliver on its One Planet Strategy which outlines the city's ambition to mitigate climate change.
The new school building will provide exciting learning and teaching opportunities for our pupils and staff, building on the excellent practice we have already developed. In addition, it will provide a valuable resource for our local community to enjoy.
