It was great to work with Read Construction on this new two storey extension to St John Plessington Catholic College. With a total project value of £1.3m, the vision was to create a new state of the art Sixth Form Centre with significant internal renovations prior to the extension to enhance existing spaces.

Deltas role in the project consisted of supplying and fitting:

• 68m of our Orbis OS211 Glass infill Balustrade System with Stainless Steel Handrail to the internal atrium and stairs.
• 37m of powder-coated Orbis OS211 Top Fix Glass infill Balustrade Systems to the external retaining wall.
• 27.5m of powder-coated Orbis OS251 no infill balustrade with a double handrails to the external steps and ramps.

Aside from balustrading requirements, this education sector project introduced an open plan learning centre, media room, eight new classrooms, and new break out space with a canopy for students. The outcome has exceeded expectations and created an adult-focused learning environment for sixth form students, similar to a university setting, as well as providing more space for the increasing pupil numbers at St John Plessington Sixth Form College.
