Term time refurbishment
As educators need to make their budgets work harder for them, Innova can provide discounts for term time working. In one of our previous articles we outlined the top ‘8 benefits to term time refurbishment’.
Over the years Innova has successfully completed numerous projects during term time, keeping noise and disruption to a minimum. Read how Aberystwyth University completed their refurbishment during term time.

We have worked with many Independent and Grammar Schools delivering environments that are safe, practical and impressive, read more about how Innova has enhanced the learning environments for Stockport Grammar School and Dulwich Prep School London.
Stockport Grammar School
Stockport Grammar School already boasts an excellent reputation and dedicated staff, however to encourage lesson engagement further, and to give teachers and pupils the facilities they deserve, an upgrade was needed for one of the older chemistry classroom.
By working closely with the school and prioritising the needs of both the students and teachers using the classroom, Innova were able to design a cutting-edge chemistry lab that users can take pride in.
The new state-of-the-art lab will ensure the quality of teaching and the students’ learning experience is enhanced.
Dulwich Prep School
As part of their plans to improve its science and technology facilities, historic preparatory school Dulwich Prep London wanted to create a new build extension to sit between two existing buildings.
Working with architects Lee Evans Partnership and building contractors Quinn London, Innova designed science laboratories, food technology rooms, design technology rooms and support facilities to match the school’s high standards.
Contemporary, high quality and spacious, the new science laboratories, food technology and design technology rooms at Dulwich Prep School deliver an education environment to match the school’s ethos of ambition and excellence.
“We would certainly recommend Innova again and ask them not to change their approach to a project in anyway.”
