PARKER E-ACT ACADEMY
PROJECT #1
THE BRIEF
The Parker E-ACT Academy is a secondary school for 11–18 year old children with academy status situated in Daventry, Northamptonshire, England.

- Divide 2 classrooms into 4 class rooms using partition walls
- Install new fire door

THE OUTCOME
This was a very extensive project taking a total of 6 weeks to fully complete. We managed to complete the works within the time frame given. When the children and staff returned in September from their extended time off they were welcomed to a clean and refreshed academy with new classrooms that help the conform to the new social distancing 'bubble system'.
By removing the turn styles in the entrance area students were able to enter the school much quicker.
