The building consisted of Drama and performance spaces laboratories, Digital graphics Rooms and practical learning areas.

Mainly standard white colour was chosen with exception of a strong black colour was utilised within one of the drama performance suites.

The Solution

The project was completed on time and to budget this was helped by the working relationship between P&W and Greswolde construction site personnel, a can do attitude from P&W mono installers and help from the Greswolde site team ensured a 1st class product for the client to enjoy this newly built facility and ensure the acoustic control created by the mono TE installation created a calm and peaceful environment for the students and staff to enjoy.

Due to the pitched nature of the works scaffold access to the areas was very difficult and small scissor lifts were utilised to carry out the works.

Testimonials

Pacy & Wheatley were commissioned to install Rockfon Acoustic ceilings in the new Drama and Arts building at King Edward V1 College Stourbridge. I would like to thank all the team at Pacy & Wheatley for delivering a first class job despite the complexity and difficulty associated with accessing the 40 degree and 60 degree pitches of the ceilings on the 1st floor.

I look forward to working with Pacy & Wheatley in the future.Bob Gardner | Site Manager | Greswolde Construction Limited
