We have recently completed a refurbishment project for Greenwich Community College at Charlton Athletic Football Club. The projects specification was to provide the following on a Design & Build basis.

The Construction of a Gaming Training College

Incorporating the change of use of:

1) A Gymnasium to a Gaming Training Room and Access Corridor.

2) Conversion of 2 No Changing Rooms into 2 No Classrooms

3) Refurbishment of a large Reception Area to a New Reception Area/Meeting Room/ Staff Room & Office

The bar area was contructed and designed by our team, which includes lighting & power and waste & potable water services.

The F2 Stainless Steel modular Bar System was chosen to provide a modern and easy to clean area. Adequate shelving and accessories for the bar area were installed and constructed.

The original Gymnasium was converted into a contained area for practical training.

Two dividing dwarf walls were constructed in order to create a relaxation area adjacent to the bar

The walls & ceilings throughout the project were first thoroughly prepared and all surfaces were made good before decorating. All newly constructed walls/partitions were wall papered and then painted. All new architraves, skirtings and dado's were gloss finished.

.

Throughout the project, floors were first prepared and latexed to ensure a level and even surface. Contract carpet tiles were then laid, resulting in a durable floor surface for heavy duty usage but also creating a luxurious and glamorous look.

Vinyl floor coverings were adopted behind the bar area and in front of the vending machines, providing extra durability.

A lay-in grid type ceiling was installed, incorporating dimmable lighting zones and fire retardant down lighters at various lux levels above and surrounding the gaming tables.

Additional lighting, dado trunking and small power was installed throughout the project, providing the correct type of lighting for each of the different areas.

Emergency lighting was also installed throughout the project.

A cash kiosk was designed and constructed by our team. The kiosk was built to Part M Regulations providing disabled access.

A lockable storage cupboard was also constructed.

Two acoustic multifold partitions were installed in order to create a noise reduced training area.

Originally part of the gymnasium, a connecting corridor was constructed to provide access for pedestrians without the need to pass through the gaming area. In addition this provided an additional escape route.

The old partitions were removed and new partitions were erected. The entire area was re-plastered & decorated and a new lobby area was created.

The complete refurbishment of two former changing rooms provided two new classrooms.

A raised concrete floor in the former changing rooms was removed and levelled and fully prepared before carpets were laid.

A stud partition was constructed to divide the space into two classrooms. Vision panels were installed into the doors and a storage cupboard was also constructed. A Modular CAT 2 lighting system was incorporated into the ceiling grid and dado trunking with socket outlets was installed throughout the length of the perimeter walls for data use. Small power was provided above the ceiling grid for the use of overhead projectors.

The original reception area was refurbished to incorporate a new reception area, meeting room, staff room and office.

A pre-stressed concrete lintel was installed between the two offices to form part of the openings. The reception counter desk was adapted for disabled persons use and a new sink unit with associated services was installed. The meeting room was re-plastered and the entire area was re-decorated.

Working closely with our client meant that this project was completed on time and within budget.
