The brief
In 2017, as part of their on-going development, the estates team planned to upgrade their science facilities on a rolling programme, as they were in need of modernisation. Innova was approached by the school to design and quote for the full turnkey refurbishment of three Physics laboratories including all three utilities, electrics, plumbing, decoration and installation of furniture – A one stop solution!
Innova was subsequently selected through a competitive tender process based on design and cost to deliver the school’s cutting-edge laboratories. These new facilities will enhance the learning experience and equip students with the latest tools and resources to support their academic growth in scientific studies.
The new labs will stimulate and motivate students’ scientific curiosity, transforming the way they engage with science!
The solution
From out-dated to state-of-the-art, Innova worked closely with the school team to create contemporary laboratories, which really work for students and teachers alike – maximised space, improved circulation and increased flexibility for both practical and theory work.
Two of the laboratories were developed using Innova’s popular Hot Corner design which creates a seamless working classroom and practical laboratory. The design relocates the teacher to the long wall providing shorter lines of communication, improves classroom management and with integrated storage it creates a clutter-free work environment, minimising distractions during lessons.
Featured products
A third science lab was designed with a curved benching layout, where services such as electricity and gas were located off the benching, which helps to optimises the work space available for theory sessions.
High quality, low maintenance Velstone work surfaces were specified throughout, providing durability and longevity for years to come.
