What was the project brief?
The school required a durable, weather-resistant covered area that could be used for dining and sheltered sports activities. The solution needed to be practical, modern, and flexible in its usability to meet these diverse needs without compromising functionality.
What was our school canopy solution?
We installed our Motiva Duo™ canopy, featuring a sleek Jet Black Duracoat™ finish on the steelwork for added durability and a contemporary look. The canopy was fitted with an Opal polycarbonate roof that allowed plenty of natural light while offering shelter and UV protection. This provided the school with a weatherproof space for dining and sports, ensuring the area remained usable throughout the year.

The Benefits of Multifunctional Outdoor Spaces in Schools
Multifunctional covered outdoor spaces in schools offer numerous benefits for both students and staff. These versatile areas provide shelter while supporting a range of activities, from physical education and outdoor learning to socialising and relaxation.

Overall, multifunctional covered outdoor spaces enhance the school experience, creating a dynamic and inclusive environment for everyone.
