Founded in 1841, Cheltenham College is one of the foremost co-educational schools in the country.
The College buildings are a magnificent focal point for both residents and visitors, so to be commissioned to work at the College was both an honour and a responsibility.
Our four-month project in the older buildings was concentrated in the library, theatre, green rooms and dance studio. Among the tasks were installation of new mains distribution equipment and associated cabling. New lighting to include bespoke pendants in the library and the completion of new fire alarm systems. Much of this work was carried out during term time which presented some interesting challenges.
As the College continues to expand, further development has become essential. We were proud to contribute to the construction of a brand new ladies’ accommodation block, installing energy efficient lighting controls, satellite, fire alarm and data network systems. Given the nature of the building, security was a top priority. We therefore also installed, door access control systems, intruder alarms, CCTV and audio-visual systems and equipment.
This project reflects our commitment to creating safe, efficient and future-ready environments in educational settings.
