The new main entrance and main office project awarded to D.L.Rhodes & Son ltd in the last 8 weeks of the Standhill Infant schools financial year and had to be completed by the end of the financial year in time due to funds being claimed for the project.
As you will see from the photo’s D.L.Rhodes & Son Ltd were fully committed in trying to match the new extension with the original 1925 school building, from using Imperial brickwork in Flemish bond in a single skin, over sailing courses to both gables, brickwork corner detail to match existing, stone cill’s to all windows on the north elevation with softwood sash windows to match existing.
The main feature to the external brickwork is the cambered arches over the 3 windows and main entrance which also has incorporates the existing stone Key Stone from the original main entrance all the bricks are handmade and were cut on site by our own operative. The roof to the extension finished with a natural slate to match the existing.
The Internal finish to the extension was giving a modern look using Oak panelling to the entrance and office, with Oak doors with vision panels. The extension was fitted out with a suspended ceiling housing CAT 2 lighting and air-conditioning units giving heating & cooling to the office and entrance.
