Ccl Facades Grows Education Portfolio With Leeds College Project

Specialist facade contractor, CCL Facades, has been appointed to design and supply the curtain walling facade at the new Pudsey Sixth Form College next to Crawshaw Academy in Leeds.

Delivered on behalf of main contractor, Caddick, the £380,000 facade contract will see CCL Facades design, supply and install a glazing package incorporating thermally broken aluminium windows and specialist curtain walling, as well as manually operated and automated doors.

The contract forms part of the Luminate Education Group’s new Sixth Form College, which includes a new further education development to cater for 600 students aged 16 to 18 years next to Crawshaw Academy on Kent Road.

Due for completion in time for the 2025/26 academic year, the new Pudsey Sixth Form College will expand Luminate’s further education capacity alongside Leeds Sixth Form College, Leeds West Academy, Crawshaw Academy and Co-Op Academy Priesthorpe, all of which are partners of the project.

Tony Blake, Managing Director at CCL Facades, comments: “Public sector schemes such as these require meticulous planning using only durable and high-quality facades to ensure safety and aesthetic are both prioritised. Working alongside our colleagues at Caddick gives us a unique edge to ensure a swift delivery, keeping the project on programme ahead of completion next year.

“We are proud to add Pudsey College to our growing portfolio of public sector projects across Yorkshire, and look forward to seeing this development complete for the new students in the 2025/26 academic year.”

Steve Ford, Regional Managing Director at Caddick Construction Yorkshire and North East, comments: “We are pleased to be partnering with our colleagues at CCL Facades to deliver this impressive public sector scheme for our client, Luminate Education Group. With CCL Facades forming part of the Caddick Construction Group, we know we can offer our clients greater value, which prioritises efficiency in the construction programme.”
