From Great Heights to Deep Depths

The 10m Shaft of one of our industrial units was a feat of engineering! The first photo shows a drone shot of the shafts, photo 2 shows the Health & Safety Officer at the shaft mouth. Photo 3 shows his view – above and below ground level, whilst photo 4 is a view from the bottom of the shaft under his watchful gaze!

Corpus Christi High School Chapel

Our Architects are proud to have created a Chaplaincy and Chapel for the Staff and Students of Corpus Christi Catholic High School, Preston. Converted from two end of life food tech rooms, the Chapel and Chaplaincy was created to provide a dedicated space for hospitality, support and reflection. At the heart of the Chapel are two stained glass windows, specially commissioned by Corpus Christi and created by Pendle Stained Glass in Padiham.

Secondary School MUGA Pitches

Secondary School MUGA Pitches

We have recently completed two MUGAs (Mix Use Games Areas) for two Lancashire secondary Schools and are preparing for a hat trick, with a third on its way!

The first project was to convert the unforgiving existing tarmac covered play area into a multi-functional games area for various sports in addition to a running track.

The second school had difficulty with their existing grassed play area becoming waterlogged at various times of the year, limiting the areas available for play and sports. We converted this area into two distinctly different play areas, one for structured team sports and one areas for general play. An additional existing basketball area was recovered with a new blue multi play surface.

Both projects had substantial below ground drainage installed, allowing the areas to be used all year round, much to the delight of the schools. Upon completion the Schools commented “The new outdoor games area is looking FAB and waiting for the children to use up all of their energy!” and “Amazing Job! Can’t wait to see it in use!”
