North Birmingham
Academy opened the doors of its £23.6 million state of the art
facilities in 2013.
Not only does the
building cater for the everyday requirements of a school environment
for 11-19 year olds but also accommodates out of hours school clubs
and activities, some like The Zone sports hall and conference
facilities open to the general public.
“Because of the
myriad of uses and the amount of people and equipment that moves
around the building almost 24/7, we noticed that very quickly the new
walls particularly were getting marked and damaged detracting from
the appearance of the Academy.
“Image says a lot to
both pupils and visitors about a school and with the amount of money
invested into the building we were very keen to find a solution that
would halt the damage and help to maintain a pristine and attractive
interior. That’s when we contacted Yeoman Shield for advice on
their wall and door protection products.” Explained the premises
manager for NBA.
Yeoman Shield’s Area
Sales Manager undertook a free site survey and furnished North
Birmingham Academy with a fully itemised quotation along with samples
of the products.
FalmouthEx 2.0mm thick
wall protection panels were fitted, by a team of Yeoman Shield’s
directly employed fixing operatives, at 1250mm high along the busy
1st and 2nd floor corridors. Having to
co-ordinate with the contemporary decor scheme already in place
Yeoman Shield’s new Aubergine colour proved to be the perfect
choice.
The wall of the
Academy’s frequently used sports changing rooms were also protected
with Yeoman Shield FalmouthEx wall panels, this time in a Mushroom
colour which whilst guarding against everyday wear and tear has
proved easy to clean.
The busy reception area
of The Zone sports hall, which is frequented by students and is also
open to the public between 5.00p.m. & 10.00p.m. on an evening and
over the weekend, benefited from wall panels fitted around the notice
board area in striking Regatta Blue and Mushroom.
“Fitting Yeoman
Shield will definitely show a saving on our annual redecoration
budgets which can cost anywhere up to £50.00/m2 for the
repainting of walls. It will also save staff time who will be able to
be re deployed to other important projects helping us get through our
workload more efficiently.
“We were thrilled
with the service and workmanship from Yeoman Shield and we will be
continuing to roll out the wall protection throughout North
Birmingham Academy.” Concluded the Academy’s premises manager.
