A NEW WELCOME WHEN YOU VISIT HOLYFAST
OFFICE REFURBISHMENT, HOLYFAST PRIMARY SCHOOL, COVENTRY
BRIEF
Index DFE were asked to re-design the Main School Office to provide workstations for each member of staff and improve storage for the many files the school needed to hold. The office accommodates the School Receptionist, School Secretary and Finance Department.
CHALLENGE
- Space – limited space to accommodate everyone.
- Access – it was requested that glass sliding windows be included – one to the outside of the building for Visitors and Parents and one to the inside of the building for Staff and Students.
- Storage – separate storage area requested.
SOLUTION
To create a spacious, open feel to the space, two bespoke workstations were positioned around the edge of the space. From this bespoke storage cupboards incorporated file hanging mechanisms run along the backwall, giving easy access to all members of staff.
To create a separate area for Finance, a further desk was situated on the other side of the room with a privacy partition to allow confidentiality.
A separate, lockable Storage Room was created and fitted out with storage shelving and solutions to allow for confidential, yet easily accessible filing solutions.
Sliding glass partitions were made and fitted to allow the access required for Visitors, Parents, Staff and Students alike.
