Flex Connectors is helping to ensure that pupils and staff at a state-of-the-art school will be able to learn and work in an environment that meets the needs of everyone using it, including the local community.St Joseph's Catholic Comprehensive School in Swindon is being completely re-built under the government's PFI programme, at a cost of £15.3 million.
The contractors, NG Bailey, are installing flex 7 modular chains, connection units and pre-wired plugs throughout the school. The versatility of this lighting connection range meant it was suitable for use in a wide range of settings, including classrooms, library, administrative areas, sports facilities, resource areas & ICT areas.
Construction work, which began in July 2004, is due for completion this summer and when the new school opens, it will be home to almost 1400 pupils and staff.
The new building has been carefully designed to reflect the culture, purpose and ethos of the school, with particular emphasis on light levels and on facilitating the flow of people around the site at all times and in all weathers.
