Description

Bennerley Avenue is the £14m development of a new Specialist Care facility, together with inclusive communal amenities on the former Bennerley Ormiston Academy site in Ilkeston, Derbyshire. The project consists of a 40-bed specialist care wing and supporting accommodation, located in generous gardens. The building provides a café and hairdressers serving residents and the wider community. As a new and vibrant hub for the community, the project also includes a much-improved football pitch, in line with Sports England requirements, to provide the local area with a first-class community sporting facility. The project was funded by Derbyshire County Council, designed by Glancy Nicholls Architects, and constructed by Wates.
