St Marylebone School – Staff Room

The Challenge

St Marylebone School had approval to create a new space for staff within their Sixth Form Block. The new Staff Room needed to be a relaxing area for teachers to enjoy their breaks but also include a work area along with Kitchenette and washroom.

The space needed to include new lockers for staff and also facilities for photocopying including paper storage. This also had to provide facilities and access for disabled members of staff. Additionally, the designated space needed to include a separate classroom including new desks, chairs, sound proof teaching wall and teacher desk.

The existing space consisted of smaller rooms, washrooms, bathroom and a couple of larger rooms which needed to be reconfigured in order to achieve the requirements. This meant that the area needed to be space planned with the need to remove some walls and build new walls to provide the right sized spaces.

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

The Solution

Within the main Staff Room, BrookhouseUK created a design that includes clearly zoned areas. Soft seating and other furniture was included in the relaxation area with light grey carpet tiles. A zoned space was created for staff to work and a contrasting shade of flooring was used here. A separate teachers’ workroom was also created.

The kitchenette was fitted with beech flooring and worktops with darker cabinets, giving the area a modern feel with large wall-mounted radiators.

A bank of lockers, stipulated as a crucial need in the room, were included within the space planning. A DDA washroom was included in the refurbishment and the new office space was furnished with new desks and chairs. All doors were fitted with automatic openers.

All in all, the finished Staff Room gives St Marylebone School vastly improved facilities for their staff to enjoy whilst giving them areas to work in comfortably.

St Marylebone School – Washrooms

The Challenge

St Marylebone School desperately needed to update their 2F Male Staff Washroom which was long overdue for a refurbishment.

The work needed to take place as early in the year as possible and ideally before the Summer holidays. The new toilets needed to look fresh and modern and provide practical but aesthetically pleasing facilities in a very busy part of the school.

The Solution

BrookhouseUK created a design that kept the existing layout (as the available space was very limited), but created a bright and pleasant environment.

Clever use of contrasting IPS paneling in mottled grey and black resulted in a very modern look and feel, along with an ultra modern wash trough with a solid surface, a dramatic improvement from the previous wash basins. Infrared taps and new automatic dryers were also included in the upgrade.

We Provided

• Full Height Solid Grade Laminate IPS
• Full Height Solid Grade Laminate Cubicle Partitions

Cecil Jones Academy – Science Laboratories

The Challenge

Cecil Jones Academy required the refurbishment of their science Laboratory to accommodate their current and future needs and this involved a completely new layout of the room.

The new design needed to accommodate the required amount of pupils at any one time and give enough space for them to learn effectively. The school required a modern look and feel and needed to provide a top grade environment suitable for science teaching.

The project needed to be completed during the Easter holidays and be ready in time for the students return before the Summer term.

The Solution

BrookhouseUK created a design using inline workbench stations and perimeter benching which enabled the space to be used most effectively, ensuring that the room could accommodate the requisite amount of pupils.

All safety requirements were strictly adhered to from design to development and implementation – hugely important in a science laboratory where gas, electrics and chemicals are in use on a regular basis. Stylish worktops and cupboards throughout with complementary flooring and wall finishes completed the look.

The design included a teacher’s work station and wall-mounted storage units, all finished in high quality materials, ensuring that the Science Laboratory is future-proofed for many years to come.

Cecil Jones Academy were delighted with the results and have since refurbished another 6 laboratories with BrookhouseUK. They also took advantage of our term-time working methodology so they didn’t have to wait for another summer holiday to carry out the work.

We Provided

• Bench-Style Work Stations with Sinks and Gas/Electric Supply
• Trespa Worktops
• Classroom Storage
• High-Quality Handmade Cabinets
• Teacher Station
• Mobile Fume Cupboard

 ASHCOMBE SCHOOL

The Challenge

Ashcombe School was in desperate need of a washroom refurbishment. They needed to do this ASAP and could not wait until the following summer holidays to get this work done. The school was also experiencing student behavior issues because it was closed-off. They also required more cubicles, and there was often an unbalanced demand between the boys and the girls.

The Solution

Firstly, BrookhouseUK needed to understand Ashcombes pains and create a design to eliminate these as best as possible. It quickly became apparent that they needed a unisex school washroom open to the corridor.  Many existing toilets were not working, so they needed this completed as soon as possible. The half-term break was identified as a week to carry out the demolition works. A critical path was created with the initial demolition works during the half-term break. The location of the school washroom refurbishment was on the primary school corridor. With the project being carried out during term time, it was essential to ensure this was carefully managed.  BrookhouseUK worked through our term-time methodology with Ashcombe school to ensure safeguarding issues were covered and the project was as little disturbance as possible.

Working during the term-time is what BrookhouseUK specializes in. We can be successful at this because of our understanding and experience of how schools operate and the discipline of our workforce, which is enhanced DBS certified. We created a design concept with full height cubicles to reduce the issues they were having and specified a trough and automatic infrared taps and soap dispensers to stop the students from filling up the basins and making them overflow. The solid grade laminate school washroom system has a floor & ceiling track to achieve privacy and create an extremely robust washroom that will last for years to come. All fittings are also bolted through to ensure no damage to the laminate.
