Jubilee Wood School

The Project

A new two-storey primary school was developed as part of the school framework agreement with Milton Keynes Council. Designed by Jestico + Whiles Architects, the building features a modern, open-plan layout with a two-storey portal frame structure.

The Challenge

The brief required a washroom system suitable for high-traffic, open spaces – specifically, an open-plan arrangement of cubicles and solid surface vanities directly off the corridor.

Key objectives included:

• Promoting user safety
• Supporting an anti-bullying strategy
• Creating a fully visible yet private environment

These challenges demanded a design that could balance privacy, durability, and visibility while remaining appropriate for a vibrant primary school setting.

The Solution

To meet these requirements, Excelsior’s Skyline Cubicle Range was specified – a full-height system complete with overhead panels to ensure maximum privacy and enclosure.

This system has become increasingly popular in educational environments due to its:

• Enhanced privacy: Full-height panels offer a completely enclosed experience.
• Safety-focused design: The bespoke door system, featuring rise-and-fall hinges, allows for emergency lift-off access if needed.
• Anti-bullying features: Visibility and access controls support safeguarding policies.
• Robust construction: Standard features include a ‘P’ section headrail, ‘U’ channel base rail, and overhead panel, offering outstanding strength and durability.

Optional bolt-through fixings were also recommended for additional security and longevity.

The completed installation featured bold colour choices – Orange and Pomme Verte – in keeping with the school’s modern and energetic aesthetic. The result is a highly functional and visually appealing washroom space that supports the school’s educational and safeguarding goals.
