Morgan Llwyd Secondary School | Wrexham
The school decided to use the summer holiday period to give a new lease of life to its four gendered washrooms – seeing the opportunity for this to improve student wellbeing, the decision was taken to transform the spaces into two gender-neutral washrooms. Another key design detail meant the new spaces were also to be opened onto the main corridor – this would allow for teacher supervision to reduce instances of bullying or harassment.
We were chosen by Washroom Fit-Out Company (WFC) to supply cubicle and washbasin components, with a brief to provide products in line with the school’s design vision and to a strict delivery timetable.
The Solution
Working closely in tandem with WFC, we suggested a series of solutions that would help to create areas which are safe and inclusive for every student, regardless of their gender identity.
Full-height Force Privacy Cubicles finished in stylish Polyrey Gris Orage (G059) offered a neutral colour scheme, as well as a practical option capable of withstanding the most harsh and demanding washroom environments. These have been finished with Powder Coated Nickel Ironmongery fittings and installed with matching partitions and pilasters.
For the handwashing areas, each washroom was supplied with two, three-person wash troughs in a sleek Corian Glacier white finish, as well as Laminate Duct Panel Systems which not only match the cubicles in colour, but also allows easy access to pipework for maintenance teams.
“This was a big project, and Concept Washroom’s support has been invaluable throughout. The products selected have supported the school’s vision from both a practical and aesthetic perspective, and timely delivery ensured we were able to complete the project during the school holidays.”
