The brief
In 2018, as part of their on-going development, the school planned to upgrade their science facilities as they were in need of modernisation and to accommodate increasing class sizes. Innova was approached by the Facilities Director to design and quote for the full turnkey refurbishment of their laboratories including flooring, electrics, plumbing and gas, decoration and installation of furniture.
Following a competitive tender process, Innova was appointed to deliver the new cutting-edge Laboratories based on a flexible package which allowed the school to include or exclude elements within the scope of work and having a single point of contact throughout the project from the initial site visit to sign off.

The solution
The old laboratories have been completely overhauled and now feature a peninsular layout. which supports a flexible environment for both theory and practical work. Every pupil faces the front of the room, the teacher can circulate freely, providing a more collaborative approach to learning.
A teachers demonstration area provides the perfect platform for experiments to take place.
To help Francis Holland further maximise the space available in each lab, both perimeter benching and the work benches were fitted with customised storage, providing students with instant access to equipment.
