A project was undertaken to replace bespoke arched timber windows and perform a full rewire of a historic listed school building. The refurbishment aimed to enhance energy efficiency while preserving the building’s unique architectural features.
Health and safety were paramount during the project, especially given the building’s status as a live occupied school. A comprehensive risk assessment was conducted, and strict safety protocols were enforced to protect students and staff throughout the refurbishment process.
The replacement windows were crafted to match the original design, ensuring the character of the building was maintained. Additionally, the installation of LED-efficient lighting throughout the school significantly reduced energy consumption, contributing to a greener environment.
Despite the complexities of working within an active school setting, the project was delivered on time and within budget. Effective planning and communication among all stakeholders ensured minimal disruption to the educational environment.
Upon completion, our team organized a social values activity, hosting a workshop for students to teach them about construction and the importance of historical preservation. This engaging initiative not only fostered awareness of the trades but also encouraged a sense of pride in their school’s heritage and improvements.
