4000m2 of Gerflor flooring for Scottish school

A school in Scotland that supports and accommodates 190 pupils with additional needs has been built to deliver an education environment worthy of its staff and students. ‘Carrongrange’ which is an Additional Support Needs (ASN) school in Grangemouth is now open, providing a raft of support to further enhance the learning and future of its pupils.

When Falkirk Council required flooring for this education project they would turn to international flooring specialist Gerflor to supply 4000m2 of flooring products that could deliver stunning looks, durability and performance. Jack Aitken, Education Design Co-ordinator, Falkirk Council commented, “A need was identified for a replacement of our existing Additional Support Needs secondary school. The new facility in Grangemouth has been designed to meet the current range of very specific pupil needs”. On specification Jack Aitken added, “Falkirk Council have used Gerflor on a number of school projects in the past and the products have been very well received on each occasion”.

You would be hard pushed to find a head teacher who is prouder of her school than Gillian Robertson. The head of Carrongrange High School loves every aspect of the new additional support needs learning facility located in Grangemouth. It was built over the course of 18 months to replace Larbert’s Carrongrange School.
“The total floor area is actually the same as the Larbert school, but the layout and colours of the flooring here makes you feel it’s so much bigger” she said.

The pupils themselves also had a hand in designing the badge for the new school, and by using Gerflor’s water jet cutting system could have their new logo incorporated into Gerflor’s Mipolam Elegance flooring. Jack Aitken went on to further say, “The new school only opened in August this year, and the flooring is performing really well. The staff and pupils are very happy with the Gerflor products, particularly the cushioned flooring in the gym”.
