Bilton Grange

The work to the corridors has involved the replacement of fire doors and glazed screens which were designed to complement the original Pugin details. The installation of a new lighting scheme has improved the visual quality of the spaces.

The boys’ washroom to the first floor has been modernised as part of the third phase. The new arrangement allows for improved individual privacy and comfort. The facility includes baths, showers, washbasins, urinals and w.cs. New washracks have been provided adjacent to the washbasins, incorporating a personal storage space for each child’s washbags and towels etc.

The high standard of finish has been maintained to these rooms. Surface materials and details have been specified for ease of cleaning and maintenance. The external architecture of the building has been improved by the replacement of the inappropriate windows to the washroom.

In addition to this washroom, the old urinals have been completely refurbished to contemporary standard. Adjacent to the Matron and sick rooms a separate bathroom has been formed for the use of a sick child.

The electrical and mechanical services have been upgraded to all areas of work and untidy exposed wiring and pipes have been concealed where feasible. This has enhanced the visual quality of all rooms, while helping to ease cleaning and maintenance. Implicit with the work to the plunge area and the boys’ washroom was the removal of untidy waste pipework to the external elevation of the building.
