BUILDINGS, MAINTENANCE & REFURBISHMENT
Trinity College maintains its campus with supplies from joinery specialistQUEST
T
rinity College in Oxford was founded in the sixteenth century as a training house for priests. It has an onsite workshop, with 7 people who maintain
the buildings, including Maged Alyas, Workshop Supervisor who has been working at Trinity College for over 20 years.
The onsite team work
together to keep the buildings in immaculate condition, preserving the historic buildings for the current 475 students and future generations. The team of 7 in the
workshop includes a plumber, a handy man, an electrician, joiners and carpenters. Trinity
College buys hardware supplies from Quest, a hardware and ironmongery supplier that specialises in supplying joiners with all the materials they need. Ordering can be done online, by calling the customer support team, or by placing the order with an area sales rep. Maged Alyas commented “I order our workshop consumables,
ironmongery and power tools from Quest, each time I just make up an order from the items we are low on, I call Steve Hanson our sales guy at Quest or I call the office and then it’s delivered the next day”. Maged added “Quest specialise in supplying companies that work with
timber and often older properties, Quest stocks the range of products that we need to complete our work and they also have specialist knowledge and experience that we can tap into if needed when placing orders”. The Trinity College workshop also repair and preserve their furniture,
keeping it in good condition using products from Quest that ensuring the traditional interiors are conserved for future generations.

Be relaxed about building services design M
uch of the complexity of designing, installing and maintaining central heating in multi-occupancy low-rise buildings can potentially now be
eliminated with a room-by-room solution from Gilberts that combines ventilation with heat boost. The concept means that there is no need to provide radiators in the rooms
in which the new option is fitted. Further, because the solution is fitted at ceiling height, it liberates interior design and optimises use of floor space. The solution focuses around Gilberts’ unique Mistrale Fusion (MFS) unit
with an integrated LPHW coil. Just 2 x standard MFS128, or 1 x MFS256, will warm a standard 32 pupil-classroom to all regulatory requirements. The stand-alone
unit is installed as normal through the building façade. The core MFS appliance provides natural ventilation and uniquely blends the incoming fresh air with the
warmth from the exhaust air without the need for a heat exchanger. MFS ensures an even distribution of airflow, with control over temperature
and CO2 levels within, and maintains a comfortable internal environment for occupants.

Supporting the Grenfell Community
toilets and shower cubicles in the boxing club as well as washroom facilities in the community centre. When asked about this ambitious project, Formwise Technical Director Tim Jupp commented, “We were delighted to be approached by Abet to support this worthwhile project and “see how if could help”. Only having a narrow window in which to come up with a design from scratch and then manufacture and install could have proved challenging. However, as we employ the whole team in-house from start to finish it meant we were able to pull together to achieve this goal. Working closely with Abet and their high-quality laminates, coupled with our in-depth knowledge, has created something special of which we can all be very proud.” Compact grade laminate is perfect for this kind of heavy-duty
A
s part of the ongoing support to the Grenfell community, Abet Laminati and Formwise are proud to have helped realise the
ambitious DIY SOS Grenfell project to build the replacement Dale Youth Boxing Club and new Community Centre. Abet donated 12mm compact grade high pressure laminate in a grey
Zebrano finish for the washrooms and cubicles, as well as a graphite grey for the lockers. These were supplied to Formwise Washrooms, the specialist manufacturer, supplier and installer of quality cubicles, panels, lockers, changing room furniture and panelling. With only a rough brief and a tight timescale, Formwise managed to design, fabricate and install two complete changing rooms including
