The solution

Innova delivered a part-turnkey solution, encompassing design, manufacture, installation, plumbing, electrics, gas works, and minor building works, transforming a former hair salon into a state-of-the-art laboratory, prep room, and store room.
To support both practical and theoretical lessons, Innova designed a flexible lab layout with clearly defined zones. The space features wing-fixed benching for practical lessons and reconfigurable loose tables for theory work, creating an inspirational, multifunctional environment. This design ensures that future scientists and engineers have the tools and setting they need to confidently to start their careers
The wing layout provides versatile workstations for both practical and theoretical tasks, offering a flexible space ideal for modern, collaborative teaching methods. For non-practical tasks, loose tables and a teacher wall with an interactive screen, sliding whiteboard, and storage were included, with the ability to easily reconfigure the space as needed.
