In 2006, Chessington Community College became a Building Schools for the Future Pathfinder School and received a £27m grant for a complete rebuild of the school. The new building was designed by IID Architects and was designed with energy efficiency in mind and includes MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery), a biomass boiler, photovoltaic panels and rain water harvesting. The building won the prestigious Community Benefit Award at the 2010 RICS Awards London. The construction of the school was project managed by Tuffin Ferraby Taylor.
