A modular reception desk was chosen in a bright white finish, giving the primary school reception a clean, light, and airy feel. This design also included a lowered section to accommodate wheelchair users, ensuring accessibility for all visitors. Additionally, we installed a sturdy partition wall with a large window, separating the back office from the primary school reception area. This feature not only allows natural light to flow through but also enhances security by allowing office staff to monitor activity in the reception.
Primary School Reception Area
Bright professional Reception Refurbishment | Surrey
Meadow Primary School sought a complete transformation of their tired-looking reception area. The goal was to create a bright, welcoming, and professional space that would reflect the school’s branding and values. The refurbishment of the primary school reception needed to achieve an inviting yet functional atmosphere, making a strong first impression for visitors and providing an efficient workspace for staff. The following is an overview of the key elements in the transformation.
Durable and Branded Flooring
To further elevate the primary school reception, new neutral flooring was selected in a luxury vinyl tile finish that’s both durable and easy to clean. This flooring solution was ideal for the high-traffic area, ensuring a pristine appearance for years to come. The entrance matting was custom-printed with the school’s logo, providing a warm welcome for visitors and reinforcing the school’s brand identity from the moment they walk in.
Private Meeting Room
We added a double-glazed glass wall meeting room within the primary school reception area, giving staff a private space to meet with parents when necessary. This addition allows sensitive discussions to take place without having to bring visitors further into the school, enhancing privacy and security. The glass wall also allows the room to remain visually connected to the reception area while providing sound insulation for privacy.
New Lighting and Decor
To complete the refurbishment of the primary school reception, we installed new LED lighting, which brightens the space and adds an energy-efficient touch. The walls were freshly decorated in light tones, enhancing the reception’s open and airy feel. These updates created a welcoming and professional environment, perfectly aligned with the school’s branding and the needs of both staff and visitors.
"This refurbishment of Meadow Primary School’s reception area has not only made the space more visually appealing but also enhanced its functionality, accessibility, and security. The newly designed primary school reception now serves as a warm and professional entry point that reflects the school’s commitment to excellence."
