Work is well underway on the new Village Hall development at Galgate, behind the Plough Inn. Sure to be a cherished community asset, this purpose built hall will offer the village a wealth of facilities to enhance the lives of residents young and old.

The building is a cross wall construction supporting roof purlins, with raking glulam beams supported by glulam columns in the lobby area.  Walls are masonry construction with grey standard profile composite roofing sheet roof. It will feature timber cladding and render to the external walls with UPVC windows and doors, giving the building a modern look. Its environmental credentials have been considered too, with the use of local contractors, sustainable materials and an energy efficient heating system. The project is expected to be completed in Spring 2012.

We are pleased to announce the completion of the new extension to the Sixth Form Centre at Ripley St Thomas CE Academy. VMC worked closely with the client, their architect JMP Ltd and our partners on this project, and were delighted to be involved in this scheme, delivering this extended facility to allow the school to further expand the sixth form offering more places than ever to local students.

We are delighted to have been working with the local NHS Trust to refurbish Ward 8 at Westmorland General Hospital to deliver a new Chemotherapy unit, the Grizedale Unit, for the local community. This vital facility will enable users to access this service closer to home, relieving some of the stress incurred during a difficult treatment process. We are proud to have been involved in the development of the unit and congratulate the many dedicated fundraisers who contributed to the project funding on their achievement. The Grand Opening on 27th July was a huge success and everyone agreed that the environment was welcoming, functional and would bring great comfort to its patients.

Our works included altering the room layouts, forming new openings and partitions and refurbishment of existing rooms, including all ceiling, wall and floor finishings. It also included new fixed furniture and extensive mechanical and electrical works. Completed on time in just 10 weeks, this £150k project also achieved the Considerate Constructors Performance Beyond Compliance Certificate.

VMC Developments Managing Director said, ‘We are delighted to be working for the NHS Trust on such a important project and that we have been chosen to deliver their vision for this facility.
