The Khalsa Academy, Wolverhampton

After the successful installation of a custom shelter at The Atsam Academy London, NBB Outdoors was approached once again to collaborate with The Khalsa Academies Trust in creating a bespoke shelter solution, this time for The Khalsa Academy Wolverhampton. The key objectives for this new project were as follows:

Multi-Purpose Space: Recognising the importance of outdoor spaces in the educational experience, the academy sought to enhance its outdoor facilities, by commissioning a large bespoke shelter. The purpose of this universal sheltered space is to provide a protected area for various student activities throughout the year.

Aesthetic Synergy: It was of the utmost importance that alongside being versatile, the new shelter blended with the existing academy’s environment. This included integrating with The Khalsa Academy’s modern and contemporary main building.

Durability and Longevity: The shelter was required to withstand the rigours of all weather conditions throughout the year, ranging from intense sunlight to heavy rain, strong winds, and even snow. Reliably serving its purpose for many years to come.

To accommodate the unique needs of The Khalsa Academy, NBB Outdoors tailor-made and installed a bespoke shelter solution that delivered the following key features: 

Bespoke Design: Measuring L30000mm x D11200mm,the large-scale design was purpose-built with versatility as its guiding principle. With every aspect of the shelter meticulously planned to create space that accommodates many activities. From outdoor classes to recreational gatherings, the bespoke design offers ample room for creativity, exploration, and learning.

Planning and execution: Careful consideration was given during the installation process to ensure the first row of shelter posts were surface bolted to existing concrete. In contrast, all others were sub-surfaced, with tarmac reinstated where posts were anchored. The benefit of this approach was to ensure enhanced stability and durability of the shelter in all seasons. 

Expert Finishing: The shelter was carefully finished in a contemporary Umbra Grey RAL7022, with modern black UPVC Guttering and the addition of padded post protectors in the academy’s bright blue colours, ensuring seamless integration into its surroundings.

NBB Outdoors were delighted to partner with The Khalsa Academies Trust again, underscoring the satisfaction and trust they have in NBB Outdoors’ solutions and services. By understanding the client’s unique requirements and delivering a tailored solution again, The Khalsa Academies Trust can rely on their new shelter to serve as a hub for various activities for decades to come.
