Portaloo launches modular sports changing facility
P
ortaloo has introduced a specially designed sports changing facility which can be operational 24 hours after delivery and supplied for interim or permanent use with the minimum disruption. The well-equipped modular changing rooms can be used for both team and individual sports, giving players an exceptional standard of amenities in a spacious building. Designed in accordance with Sport England guidelines and available to buy or hire, each 117sqm building provides two large communal changing areas with bench seating and individual showers and toilet cubicles for use by different teams or male and female players.
Applications include schools, colleges and universities; sports grounds, parks and leisure centres; and for community use or professional sports clubs and associations for short or long-term hire as well as permanent use. The building is designed to be robust, durable and easy-to-clean and discourage vandalism internally and externally. Toilet cisterns and plumbing are concealed and sensors operate toilets, urinals and washbasins so there are no visible moving parts; there is emergency lighting throughout.

The site operation involved the use of a large 350-tonne crane to lift the steel and concrete building modules over a building and into a completely enclosed courtyard in the centre of the school. Working closely in partnership with Thomas Vale and the school, the installation was timed to coincide with the half term holiday, minimising any disruption to teaching.
C YEARS A A
The scheme designed by Ridge & Partners will provide the school with six new classrooms to help meet the increased demand for places and to replace an outdated facility. Design features will include brick cladding to the ground floor with a contrasting white finish to the upper floor; windows, doors and aluminium cladding panels in anthracite grey; a full height glazed stairwell and a link corridor to the main school building.
The concrete floor throughout the school was pre-installed in the Yorkon factory to further reduce work on site; a robust design option, it is ideal for high traffic areas and reduces sound transmission.
