Parmiter’s School – Washrooms

The Challenge

Parmiter’s School needed five of their washroom blocks refurbished and work was initially planned to take place during term time for two of the quieter rooms and Summer for the other ones.

The school had seen other washroom refurbishment work that BrookhouseUK had undertaken at another location close by and were very impressed with what they saw!

The main objective for the school was to increase the amount of cubicles in all the washrooms to accommodate their increased student numbers.

The Solution

BrookhouseUK, having created a strict methodology for term-time work, were able to refurbish both the Sixth Form Washroom and Gym toilets during term time with minimal disruption.

The washrooms were designed utilising the spaces effectively to obtain the maximum amount of full-height enclosed cubicles which increased capacity by over 30% for each room.

Superbly stylish, practical and highly durable, these solid grade laminate cubicles were the exact finish that Parmiter’s School were hoping for. Three further washrooms are now planned for refurbishments during Summer 2023.

We Provided

• Full Height Washroom Cubicles and IPS
• Solid Grade Laminate (SGL)
• Contrasting Colour Doors and Panels
• Automatic Infrared Taps & Soap Dispensers

Mayfield School Library

The Challenge

Mayfield School approached BrookhouseUK to create a modernised Library refurbishment. They explained that they wanted to create an environment where students can learn, read and study in a space that is calm but also well organised.

Increased book space was key but this needed to be not just practical but also an attractive feature in the room. Budget was limited so BrookhouseUK needed to be highly creative with what they could achieve along with utilising existing furniture where possible.

The Solution

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

Zoned areas were created using LVT flooring and carpet tiles to make a clear differential between the various seating sections. Light oak book shelving was strategically placed so that different genres of books could be clearly marked and signage was placed on bookshelf ends.

Mayfield School also wanted an illuminated sign on the outside of the Library building and this was provided in a back-lit design with 3D lettering, perfect for the job!

The end result delighted Mayfield and both students and teachers have provided very positive feedback. The students even wrote a poem in appreciation of the new library.

We Provided

• Open Layout
• New Reception Desk with LED Lighting
• Feature Bookshelf Areas
• Study Booths
• Soft Seating
• Zones Flooring Areas
• Vastly Increased Shelving Capacity
• Bespoke Furniture

Mayfield School – Food Technology Room

The Challenge

Mayfield School desperately needed a total refurbishment of their existing food technology environment. The new room was intended to encourage new students to take up the food technology subject and to be an attractive environment to learn in.

Mayfield School wanted a bright, modern room with new appliances and an area that helped the teacher with demonstrations and theory lessons.

The Solution

BrookhouseUK created a highly specified design and presented this using 3D rendered visuals which helped the Business Manager gain approval from the governing board.

This bright, light and modern space with stylish handle-less kitchen units and colourful decoration created the perfect impression and helped to attract more students to take up the subject.

The design incorporated ample storage, which is often a problem in busy kitchen environments, so this was a very important aspect. By being creative with the layout and design, BrookhouseUK was able to achieve a fantastic area for both theory and practical lessons.

We Provided

• Trespa Worktops
• Sleek Handle-less Kitchen Units
• New Appliances Throughout
• Teacher Demonstration Area
• Updated Grid Ceiling and Lighting
• Open Layout

Petchey Academy – Teaching Walls

The Challenge

Petchey Academy had seen examples of teaching walls that BrookhouseUK had previously fitted and thought that this was the perfect solution for them. They were looking to have four teaching walls installed in classrooms including their new Food Technology room that BrookhouseUK were refurbishing.

The walls needed to utilise as much of the available wall space as possible and also incorporate a desk area for the teacher. Storage capacity was very important as the rooms needed to become much more organised and tidy than previously so this needed to be part of the design.

One wall was required as a trial early in 2022, with a further 4 to be installed during the Summer holidays.

The Solution

BrookhouseUK designed the teaching walls in a glossy white finish which complements the room colours and has a stylish appearance.

The walls feature a large central whiteboard with clever sliding panels, coloured ‘Gratnell’ trays for maximum storage capacity and use of space with lockable cupboards on either side.

Décor panels ensure that the finish is sleek and aesthetically pleasing. An integral teacher’s desk which came off the end of the wall was included too. Petchey Academy were delighted with the results and following on from the first installation, they received funding for the further 4 walls.

Both the teachers and students were delighted and all commented on how much better the rooms were for teaching and learning.

We Provided

• 5 x Teaching Walls
• Sliding White Boards
• Lockable Cupboards
• Gratnell Tray Storage
• Integral Teacher’s Desk
• Décor Panelling
• Sleek High Gloss White Design

Petchey Academy – Food Tech Room

The Challenge

Petchey Academy had secured the budget for an upgrade to their existing Food Technology Room. They wanted a completely different layout which was more practical for both the students and for the Food Tech teacher, and ultimately would encourage more students to take up the subject.

A full turnkey refurbishment was required including new floor, ceiling, work stations and appliances. Storage was a particular problem, so the design needed to take this into account. A teaching wall was also required as part of the refit.

The project needed to be completed during the Summer holidays 2022.

The Solution

BrookhouseUK designed the room with chevron-shaped work stations which look both modern and stylish but also increase the student capacity per lesson from the previous layout.

The room includes a teaching wall with twin track sliding whiteboards and demonstration area, enabling the teacher to carry out lessons effectively.

Storage issues are often key to designing a successful Food Technology Room and these were resolved with both spur shelving, work station cupboards and wall-mounted cupboards throughout the room.

The refurbishment ensures that the Food Tech Room is future proofed for many years to come.

We Provided

• Trespa Work Tops
• Chevron Work Islands
• Teacher Demonstration Area
• Teaching Wall
• Spur Shelving
• DDA Work Station
• Hygiene Cladding Throughout
• Soft Close Hardware Throughout
