REHAU trunking chosen for dynamic college project


M


ore than 3,500m of REHAU data trunking has been installed in the new £77m Sandwell College, which has recently opened in West Bromwich. The dramatic new building, which has been constructed by Interserve, is a flagship development within the Sandwell Metropolitan Borough. REHAU’s Profila Data 180x65mm and Compact Data 140x50mm cable management systems were specified and installed by M&E contractors Interserve Engineering Services, who have used the trunking extensively on previous projects. In particular areas of the college, Interserve has mounted the trunking in vertical pods corresponding to rows of desking to avoid power going via floor voids. REHAU has also supplied high visibility socket collars for the project in a grey finish which satisfy the requirements of Part M of the Building Regs governing use by the visually impaired.

Solving a problem of student concentration


50/50 COLLEGE Blinds have helped to improve student concentration at Ashville College, a leading independent school at Harrogate, North Yorkshire. The problem arose in south facing teaching rooms overlooking sports fields where activities tended to divert the attention of students. It would have been easy to install opaque blinds but this would have made the rooms claustrophobic and increased the demand on artificial lighting.


The solution from CURTAIN AND BLIND SPECIALISTS was to install 50/50 COLLEGE Blinds with an opaque fabric on the lower half joined to a more open screen fabric in the top section. The opaque fabric provides privacy, and stops students looking out, while the screen fabric allows good light transmittance to the interior so that the need for artificial lighting is greatly reduced.


The Estate Manager at Ashville, which caters for boys and girls aged 4 to 18 years of age, says:


“COLLEGE Blinds are without doubt the most effective form of classroom blind on the market and represent exceptional design and craftsmanship not found elsewhere.”


The COLLEGE Blind is designed for teaching rooms. It carries a five year guarantee and is available with different fabrics for glare control, insulation and room darkening. Manufactured in the UK by Aluzion Limited it is available from CURTAIN AND BLIND SPECIALISTS and other distributors.
