Westminster Primary Academy in Blackpool Adds Large Outdoor Dining and Teaching Area

What was the project brief?

Westminster Primary Academy in Blackpool initially reached out to us in need of a multi-use outdoor canopy solution. The canopy needed to accommodate at least thirty students, but the school were looking to get the most that they could within their designated budget. They wanted the canopy to be fun and suitable for their primary-age students and were excited to collaborate with our consultants to turn their vision into a reality.

What was our canopy solution?

After discussing this project with our expert consultants, the school decided on our Motiva Duo™ design with dimensions of 15000mm X 8000mm. For the steelwork, we used a Ultramarine Blue Duracoat™ and paired this with an Opal polycarbonate roof for a simplistic look that adds a pop of colour to the playground. The school also decided to add eight post pads and opted for a contrasting shade of light blue. Our Motiva Duo™ canopy is a great solution that can be altered to suit your space, capacity requirements, and colour preferences.
