Neilcott was appointed under a JCT Design & Build Contract to undertake remodelling and window replacement works at Kingston College. The site is a busy student campus comprised of interlinked buildings of differing ages. The main structure is the 10-storey S2 tower, which the majority of the works are centred around. The site has road frontage to Kingston Hall Road to the North and Penrhyn Road to the East.

Works are being undertaken in 2 phases with the first phase (1A) successfully completed in September 2020 comprising north facing window replacement £905k and enabling works £300k .
The second phase of works 1B are currently in progress and will see the replacement of the remaining window elevations of the S2 tower and construction of a two-storey wraparound extension to create a new open plan area to provide a welcoming entrance and connect students to main campus facilities.
