Wolverhampton Girls School – Laboratory ff&e

The Challenge

Wolverhampton Girls School has a long and established history of providing outstanding education for girls for over 100 years. With numbers increasing yearly, they required a new Science Block to be designed and built. Greswolde Construction was the appointed contractor and required a science laboratory FF&E specialist who could help them deliver the fit-out to a DfE standard & BS EN16121 Level 2 cost-effectively.

The Solution

Brookhouse engaged with Greswolde and their Architect to assist with the design and integration for the FF&E.  Working collaboratively in Revit(BIM) we were able to help minimise areas of potential conflict.  We were also able to help value engineer the initial proposed design to make it more efficient, cost less and provide the client with more for their money. The science laboratories were configured to maximise the room’s space and give the client some variation in teaching space.  Each room was provided with teacher demo desk with plenty of space for pupils to switch between practical and theory in the classroom.

Stoke By Nayland – Laboratory Refurbishment

The Challenge

Stoke By Nayland Campus, part of One School Global, had two rooms next to each other, one being a music room and the other a store room.

They currently had a traditional laboratory set up and wanted the new lab to provide a collaborative teaching environment with a pre-room.  There was also asbestos in the ceiling that needed to be removed.

The Solution

BrookhouseUK created 3D visuals along with 2D plans showing specific layouts of both rooms, which enabled the leadership team to obtain their funding.  The new design required the wall to be removed and a wind-loading post installed along with a new wall to create a prep room with access from the teacher’s desk.

Perimeter storage cupboards with Trespa tops provided helpful storage and workspaces.  Semi-circular workstations were also provided to provide an area where the students could carry out theory and practical.

Abbs Cross Library

The Challenge

Abbs Cross Academy and Arts College had recently had a new library built and therefore needed the interior fixtures, fittings and loose furniture space-planned and supplied to their particular brief.

The college wanted the new library to be open-plan and modern, giving students a chance to learn in a calm and peaceful environment.

The library needed to have specific areas including a quiet study area, general learning zone and also a large purposed ICT area where students could study using fixed screens.

The work needed to be carried out within a tight deadline and within the college’s specified budget.

The Solution

The design that Brookhouse provided made clever use of the space available and provided a modern, bright and light open library.

New flooring and LED grid lighting and bright white decoration throughout created the fresh modern look that the college were looking for.

To keep the sight-line clear and to maximise the natural light coming into the room, the design incorporated mostly low-level book shelving/storage and the beech finish was carried through with new tables, benches and reception desk.

The ICT area included large tables, incorporating hidden compartments where screens could be hidden away or raised when needed and enabled the area to be multi-functional.

Abbs Cross were delighted with the finished result and the feedback from both teachers and students was extremely positive.

We Provided

• Open Layout
• New Reception Desk
• Feature low-level Bookshelf Areas and storage
• ICT Area with hidden screen storage
• Loose furniture including foldable tables and chairs
• New Flooring
• New LED lighting Grid
• Vastly increased shelving capacity

CRANMORE SCHOOL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY BLOCK

The Challenge

Cranmore School required a new science & technology block to accommodate its current and future needs. The project based on a traditional build was outside of budget and times scales. The school required a partnership that would enable them to design the building and interior quickly and professionally to a DFE specification. They also need a seamless project from design to build. Finding a company that could carry out a turnkey solution was critical to the project’s success. Cranmore School wanted to be able to see into the classroom from the corridor and present students’ work to people in the corridor. They also require the teaching technology to be integrated within the fitted furniture. It was also important to create a new environment which enabled them to still teach with the students in a U but provide an area where the students would carry out group work.

Project Value: £575K

The Solution

BrookhouseUK partnered with Modulek to offer a full turnkey solution from the initial though to completion, providing a bespoke modular building with traditional finishes based on the needs of our client. Modulek undertook the design of the structure, including site-enabled works and groundworks. BrookhouseUK designed interior, and internal layouts, and provided FF& E consultancy along with a BIM Design package and product book, furniture design & manufacturing, supply and installation.  BrookhouseUK created a design of a teaching wall which consisted of display shelving which could be viewed by the windows in the corridor. Along with this, the Triumph Board interactive flat panel displays were integrated into the teaching wall with 4no. sliding drywipe boards.  The equipment was also integrated along with charging units. To satisfy the need of group work and a U shape,  the rooms were designed with our laboratory workstation pods set out in a U shape around the room.
