The Beacon Science Building is located centrally on the HSDC’s Alton Campus. The building is arranged over two floors with the entrance at Ground Floor and stairs leading down to a Lower Ground Floor.
It was part this Lower Ground Floor that was identified for refurbishment and reconfiguration for the Space Technologies Programme to include maths and physics labs as well as an exhibit space.
Overview
The three refurbished classrooms; 905, 906 & 907 are accessed via the repurposed showcase space at the base of the stairs; 901.
All ceilings are to be stripped out and the existing steelwork and deck to be painted as the new ceiling finish. Suspended lights and acoustic baffles throughout the space will replace the grid ceilings.
A largely monochromatic palette is complemented by bold punches of colour. The paint to the steelwork is proposed to be different in each space and the furniture will be selected to complement this.
