Vibrant colours provide class solution for school flooring

As the £31 million flagship of Renfrewshire Council’s ‘Building Better Communities’ project to invest in education, leisure and community facilities, there was widespread public expectation that the new Park Mains High School would be outstanding in every aspect.

Built in the grounds of the old school, the new structure serves 1,400 pupils and offers sports and cultural facilities to the wider community. Architects Holmes Miller envisioned a strong grid pattern of orange/red facing brick panels as a unifying elevational treatment, which contrasted with a curved wall of zinc that sweeps round to meet full height glazing at the school entrance.

Informed by the Curriculum for Excellence issued by Education Scotland, a three storey atrium floods the school with natural light, a motif continued with light wells throughout the teaching wings, illuminating break-out areas next to classrooms. The client specified sheet flooring for all public spaces, including the street area, where pupils congregate at the coffee shop and canteen and is the social hub of the school.

"The choice of flooring was important to create a cohesive appearance throughout, which highlighted key spaces and maintained continuity of the design concept. The vibrant colour range played an important part in this process as once we’d picked the colours, walls and floors had to match.”
