Concorde College installs state-of-art STEM furniture
with 22 state-of-the-art laboratories to accommodate 300 science students. The furniture specialist S+B was approached by the college to discuss their laboratory layout design and furniture requirements. Concord College wanted premium quality products and a unique design. S+B designed a unique, bespoke

furniture system which accommodates the students in a modern science environment. The worktops selected are Corian, which have a modern look and provide a durable work surface that is chemical and heat resistant. Concord Head of Science Barry Brown
commented: “Concord students who have walked into their brand new science block for the first time have expressed ‘amazement’ at the ‘stunning’ state-of- the-art facility. The new science block has literally taken their breath away. This new science building is going to be a terrific attraction for local and overseas students to study at Concord College.”

In one of teaching blocks, Neaco’s balustrade has been specified, with a metallic powder- coated finish to handrails and stanchions complemented by glass panel infills for a stylish, contemporary appearance. In order to achieve a very challenging

programme, Re-format’s design team used BIM software and off-site manufacturing. As part of the design process, Neaco’s balustrade drawings were fully integrated into a three dimensional CAD model which incorporated the mechanical and electrical services and the structural system. Neaco Managing Director Alan Green
said: “Our balustrade range’s non-chip powder-coated finish makes it ideal for high-traffic environments such as schools. Our systems have been developed for

adaptable design and fast installation with minimum disruption to activities surrounding the site. It is ideal for projects like Elthorne Park High School.” Neaco’s Spectrum balustrade systems
are based on a versatile modular construction which can meet virtually any design requirement or built environment. Systems are available with handrails and stanchions in stainless steel or aluminium in a wide range of power coated finishes, including wood-effect. Fred Gardiner, Architectural Consultant
at Re-Format, commented: "Neaco took on this project for us, provided all the information we needed to specify and design the balustrades throughout, produced installation drawings to our requirements based on their own site survey and carried them through to a trouble-free conclusion on site. Their system is very clean, neat and robust, and we are well pleased with the result."
