Both classrooms received new flooring, ceiling tiles and decoration, creating a coordinated finish across the teaching spaces.

The existing suspended ceiling grids were retained and repaired, with additional cross tees installed to accommodate new 600 × 600 mm white ceiling tiles. This refreshed the ceilings while making use of the existing framework.

Walls were prepared and redecorated in Dulux Diamond Matt Magnolia, with existing woodwork also prepared and repainted. The neutral backdrop gives the classrooms a lighter appearance and allows pupils’ work and teaching displays to stand out.

Interface carpet tiles were combined with Polyflor Colonia Oxford Maple flooring, providing a mix of carpeted teaching space and easily maintained surfaces. Entrance matting beside the playground doors helps manage dirt brought in from outside.

The toilet refurbishment involved substantial changes to the existing layout as well as the replacement of fixtures and finishes.

Existing toilets, cubicles and wall tiles were stripped out, and a blockwork store cupboard was removed to accommodate the revised arrangement. New openings and stud partitions formed two WC areas and additional storage cupboards, making better use of the space between the classrooms.

Four junior toilets were installed with new cubicles, handwashing facilities, paper towel dispensers and privacy screens. SoundBlock boards and insulation within the new partitions help limit sound transfer between the washrooms and adjoining spaces.

CID Studyspace brought the building alterations, plumbing, fitted storage and interior finishes together within one coordinated programme.

The work included adapting services to the revised toilet layout, forming new partitions and access openings, and making good surrounding surfaces before completing the finishes. Retaining and repairing the existing ceiling grids also reduced the amount of replacement material required.
