It's all go for Oasis Academy MediaCityUK, having received confirmation that outline planning permission has been granted for the new building on the prestigious Salford Quays.
The approval of outline planning means that work can now start on further developing the design, ensuring learning is at the heart of the building. With a proposal to submit the full planning application in Autumn of this year, construction could start as early as January 2011. Oasis Academy MediaCityUK will serve the community of Salford, with places for 1,150 students, including 250 places for sixth form students and will build on the many strengths the Academy has already developed.
Commenting on the approval of the outline planning permission, Patrick Ottley-O'Connor, the Academy's Principal Designate, said, "I couldn't be more pleased that the Academy is moving into the next stage of development, with this positive news. This is the start of the process during which our plans and aspirations become reality."
Aredi Pitsiaeli, Director of Strategic Development from Oasis Community Learning, said, ."At the heart of Oasis is a desire to serve each community in which we work, providing the very best learning and other opportunities for all. A new state-of-the-art building will further enhance these opportunities and we look forward to continuing to build strong relationships with the local people who form the bedrock of our Academy communities.
