The brief
As part of a significant investment in its science facilities, Shireland Collegiate Academy planned to transform its existing laboratories into modern, functional spaces that would enhance the learning experience for students. The goal was to create dynamic, contemporary environments equipped with the latest resources, allowing students to engage with science in an inspiring and hands-on way.
By redesigning these spaces, the academy aimed to promote a more interactive, flexible approach to teaching that would better support both practical experiments and theoretical lessons.
The refurbishment was part of a broader vision to ensure that students had access to state-of-the-art facilities that would prepare them for future academic success and scientific achievement.
The combination of cutting-edge innovation and traditional quality is most refreshing. ....as an outstanding school we like to use outstanding providers and Innova are clearly one of these

The solution
Innova Design Group delivered a comprehensive turnkey solution for Shireland Collegiate Academy, handling every aspect of the project from design and manufacture to installation. This included mechanical and electrical (M&E) work, flooring, suspended ceilings, LED lighting, and air conditioning, leaving the school with state-of-the-art facilities that perfectly reflect its exceptional ethos.
Innova’s ‘Hot Corner’ layout, with integrated storage, created a flexible space for both practical and theory lessons. The teachers’ bench served as a central demonstration platform, ensuring visibility from all areas, while the teacher wall offers multiple storage options and houses the interactive whiteboard.
Ultimately this design assures short lines of communication, making the room easy to manage. Pop up data sockets formed part of Innova’s many space-saving solutions, ensuring students had sufficient space for theory work as well as practical.
