The biggest challenge on this job was ensuring the services were resilient and fit-for-purpose in a school͛s sports hall. While a basketball court was central to the design of the new building, we understood the facility would be used for a variety of sports as well as student assemblies and the like. Services were designed to be mechanically and impact protected, to prevent damage from stray balls. The lights were encased in hardwire guards and the layout was coordinated with the large industrial grade fans to reduce shadowing or a flickering effect while maintaining appropriate lighting levels to provide clear vision and minimise injuries in the space.
