Focus School Swaffham Campus

Situated in the shadow of the Green Britain Centre wind turbine, in the old market town of Swaffham, Norfolk, Focus School Swaffham Campus is a non-selective independent school offering unparalleled facilities for students of all abilities from year 3 to year 13. The philosophy is “learn to learn”. The school opened in 2005 following the merging of two other independent schools which had been operating since 1997.

Officescape were presented with existing architect’s design scheme at an incredibly short lead in period before fit out work needed to commence; summer holidays already started. Tempting though it was to walk away, the school is local to and well known by the staff at our Kings Lynn office, so with an incredibly quick response from our preconstruction team, we were on site within days of receiving the order.

Much of the original specification was not available in the timescale but we researched and found suitable alternatives and reduced costs to the client’s benefit. The design was also changed and improved on.

This project included:

• Respecification of original design due to timeframe
• Internal demolition
• Mechanical and electrical package
• Decoration throughout
• Bespoke graphics and manifestations
• Feature flooring and lighting
• Glazed and solid partitions
• Timely completion
• Train carriage study booths
• Feature library chairs
• Unique glass study pods with graphics
