Film school to cast for ambitious move

The National Film and Television School is planning to relocate from Beaconsfield to Ealing Film Studios, London, in an ambitious œ30 million move.

The relocation scheme relies on Lottery funding. A bid has been submitted to enable a detailed feasibility study to be undertaken. The plan is to refurbish and convert the existing buildings at Ealing Studios.

The NFTS in the meantime is seeking expressions of interest for a full range of consultants, including a construction manager. Also required are a project manager, architect, structural engineer, services engineer, quantity surveyor, acoustic specialist, and a fire engineering consultant.

Other consultants are required to help with disabled access, planning supervision, business planning, land use, and media equipment.
