British construction company Balfour Beatty Plc. has achieved an important milestone with the topping out of Our Lady and St John Catholic College in Blackburn, Lancashire.

Being built as part of the Blackburn with Darwen Building Schools for the Future programme, the £9.5 million ($14.46 million) Our Lady and St John Catholic College project will provide a new, three-storied teaching block along with a new activity studio and changing facilities.

A triple height central atrium will be constructed on the main teaching block, which will provide a central space locating dining facilities at its base with teaching rooms accessed from the gallery that circulate the atrium.

Creating state-of-the-art facilities, the project, which is due for completion in autumn 2013, will provide access to the best education possible.
