Case Study: Meadowbank Primary School

Meadowbank Primary School’s project to build a new two-storey block is a testament to its commitment to providing it’s students and staff with an innovative and sustainable learning environment. As a large urban primary school with a diverse mix of students, it was crucial for the school to create a space that accommodated various learning styles and fostered collaboration. Shaw Contract’s carpet tiles proved to be the perfect solution for this project, with their bold engineered stripes and powerful colour blocking promoting nonlinear thinking and inspiring collaborative learning. These carpet tiles were used throughout
the two-storey block, adding a playful element to the classrooms and creating a modern, clean and dry environment for flexible learning.

The classrooms were designed with flexibility in mind, enabling teachers to easily move furniture around to suit the needs of the lesson and the teacher. The vivid blue carpet tiles added a playful touch to the rooms, drawing the students’ attention to the floor and promoting an engaging and interactive learning experience. The staffroom, where the staff gather for meetings and relaxation, was designed to be a calming and modern space. The use of more neutral and subtle tones of carpet tiles created an inviting and soothing environment, providing the staff with a comfortable space to recharge and regroup.

The use of Regupol acoustic underlay throughout the project helped to reduce the sound of footfalls, creating quiet learning and working environments.This ensured that both students and staff could focus on their tasks, promoting an efficient and productive learning environment.

Overall, Meadowbank Primary School’s project showcases the importance of creating a sustainable and collaborative learning environment. The use of innovative products such as Shaw Contract’s Mindful Play carpet tiles and Regupol acoustic underlay exemplifies the school’s commitment to providing their students and staff with the best possible learning experience.
