Open plan washroom design at senior school in Norfolk
Overview:
Attleborough High School, part of the Sapientia Academy Trust, embarked on a significant washroom refurbishment project to create brighter, more welcoming spaces for its students. Focus Washrooms was tasked with completely reconfiguring the boys and girls washrooms, transforming them from dim and secluded spaces into modern, open-plan facilities.
Project design:
A meticulous strip-out process paved the way for a complete overhaul, including new electrical and plumbing systems. We removed existing walls to open up the washrooms onto the corridors. This transformation created a more open and inviting atmosphere, enhancing natural light and improving visibility for staff to informally monitor washrooms.
The washrooms were equipped with modern features, including non-slip flooring, full-height hygienic wall cladding, and sensor LED lighting. Each cubicle was fitted with its own individual air extraction and lighting in line with regulation. A central handwashing station, featuring back-to-back solid surface wash troughs with water-saving taps, offered a practical and hygienic solution. A clean and contemporary aesthetic was achieved through a tasteful combination of grey and purple colour schemes.
Special features:
A standout feature of the project was the central handwashing station console. This innovative design incorporated back-to-back solid surface wash troughs with water-saving taps. This configuration not only maximises space but also minimises the risk of flooding or vandalism.
The Result:
The successful completion of the project on time and within budget has resulted in a highly satisfied client. The transformed washrooms at Attleborough High School are now modern, functional, and welcoming spaces that enhance the overall school environment. Focus Washrooms is proud to have contributed to this significant improvement to the school's facilities.
