Roecroft Lower School wanted an outstanding new building to match its 'Outstanding' Ofsted rating. A package of colourful and hardworking Altro products has been used throughout the £5.8 million new build project that has doubled the size of facilities at the school in the town of Stotfold, Bedfordshire.
A collaborative approach, including Altro-led 'design huddles', has meant the finished building truly represents the personality of the school, creating a bright and inspirational learning environment.
In many areas, Altro Suprema safety flooring has been used. It combines vibrant colours with class-leading slip resistance and incorporates ground-breaking Altro Easyclean Maxis PUR technology, which can reduce cleaning and maintenance costs throughout the product's life by up to 60%. In the washrooms, Altro Suprema safety flooring has been combined with Altro Whiterock Splashbacks in colours to complement the furniture, providing surfaces that are durable and tough as well as easy to clean, whilst creating fun and vibrant themes for the 200 three to nine year olds currently on the school roll.
In the entrance area, Altro wood-look safety flooring gives a warm, homely feel. It has been inlaid with 'little stars' of colourful Altro Suprema II safety flooring in a design touch that reflects the term headteacher Julie Pearson often uses to describe pupils at the school.
In the dining hall, Altro Whiterock Digiclad (Custom) has been used to reinforce the school's healthy eating message, with a colourful heart design adding a focal point. Altro Whiterock Digiclad is a unique service that allows you to print your choice of image directly onto Altro Whiterock, a semi-rigid PVC wall cladding range which has superb hygienic properties. The Altro Whiterock Digiclad washable murals use durable, cured inks to provide enhanced resistance to wear and tear in busy, hygienic areas. It is available in either a high gloss or satin finish.
Altro Walkway safety flooring, Altro Whiterock Satins also feature in the exciting new building. Headteacher Julie Pearson is delighted with the results. She said: “Altro has given the school a real wow factor! From the first day in the new building the children were very excited and loved their new surroundings. I would without a doubt recommend for other schools to work directly with Altro this way – they always listened to our queries and did their upmost to solve them.”
Hi-Tech Flooring installed all the flooring and hygienic wall coverings for the school. Nick Perkins of Hi-Tech explains why this installation was a little bit different. "We got to work with some of Altro's newest and most striking products – such as the new Altro Suprema II safety flooring and Altro Whiterock Digiclad. We were really impressed by the range of colours and how well the flooring and walling products complement each other."
The collaborative approach to design meant that the finished project was stunning, as Altro Specification Consultant Lesley Waring explains. "Some of the best results come from working really closely with everyone involved in the project. We really enjoy working this way and that passion can be seen in the end results."
Architectural Consultant Brian Wilson, of Brian Wilson Design, agrees. "Making joint decisions on the finishes worked really well. The results are excellent and the installers did a great job."
