Hampshire Collegiate School selects Spaceway

Spaceway, a leading UK provider of integrated interior space solutions, transformed 2,000 square foot facility, providing the school with an outstanding state-of-the-art resource.

Transformed from old infant school classrooms by Romsey based Spaceway, a leading UK provider of integrated interior space solutions, the 2,000 square foot facility provides the school with an outstanding state-of-the-art resource.

Opened in 2005 following the amalgamation of The Atherley and Embley Park Schools, Hampshire Collegiate School, part of the United Church School's Trust is a day and boarding school catering for boys and girls aged 3 to 18 years.

Located in 120 acres of grounds, the School's main building is a Grade II listed building which was originally the family home of Florence Nightingale.

Looking for an interior space solutions company that had the inspiration and technical ability to provide it with a prestigious music centre, Neil Carr, Head of Maintenance at Hampshire Collegiate School initially contacted three companies to gauge the calibre of design and products supplied.

"We visited Spaceway's showroom which was most impressive", says Neil Carr.

"Not only did Spaceway have the vision we wanted but Spaceway's management team also had a wealth of experience and expertise which gave us great confidence".

Spaceway design team set to work to devise a facility that would provide the school with a music room that mirrored the school's reputation as the best equipped education establishment in the area.

To kick off the project the classrooms were stripped out and Komfort acoustic partitioning and suspended ceilings installed.

Once this had been carried out, Spaceway installed lighting and electrics, doors, and a silent running ventilation system.

To complete the project it fitted carpets with special acoustic foam backing to muffle noise.

"Spaceway pulled out all the stops and fast tracked the project so that all works were completed whilst the school was closed for the summer holidays", concluded Neil Carr.

"We are thrilled with the finished project and found Spaceway a pleasure to work with.".
