The wider scheme ## A 46-week refurbishment for the Girls' Day School Trust. Putney High School's Performing Arts Centre was delivered as a 46-week refurbishment for the Girls' Day School Trust, designed by architect Shepheard Epstein Hunter, with ITC Concepts Ltd as main contractor. The wider delivery team also included Edge Structures, Low and Low, Michael Popper Associates and Acoustic GRG/RPG Europe. The wider centre, including its steel frame, structural envelope, copper cladding, oak joinery and acoustic fit-out, was operational by December 2015. None of these systems is attributable to Dmitro. The team's own role is recorded only as delivery-stage subcontract commercial involvement, evidenced by retention invoices dated 24 August and 30 September 2015.
