Top marks for Link Lockers’ bespoke school design
Published:  08 April, 2011

Lockers can form an integral part of an architectural design brief, as Link Lockers’ latest school installation has shown.

As part of a £6 million refurbishment at St Catherine’s School, Twickenham which involved the construction of a new sixth form block and teaching rooms, Link Lockers worked alongside the school’s architects to position the lockers along the corridors and public walkways so as to make a striking design feature out of them.

To achieve the desired effect, St Catherine’s chose Solid Grade Laminate 2-door lockers finished in a contrasting three-way colour scheme comprising aqua blue, aqua marine and powder blue for its pupils aged 3 – 18 years. The high specification and quality of the Solid Grade Laminate lockers – as well as the range and choice – was a crucial factor for the St Catherine’s project.

Joeri Decae, Sales Director at Link Lockers, explained that the lockers formed a central part of the interior design concept, and this required providing cleverly designed bespoke units for the space.

Headmistress Sister Paula Thomas said: “We are delighted that the refurbishment has enabled us to have such stylish lockers along the corridors, where they are much more easily accessible for the girls. Link Lockers provided us with a wealth of ideas to ensure the brief was fulfilled to our satisfaction and we are more than pleased with the outcome.”

As the UK’s largest manufacturer of lockers, Link Lockers offers the most comprehensive selection of sizes, finishes and door configurations. Joeri said: “This was an important factor for St Catherine’s. Given the design constraints, a standard off-the-shelf locker system was not an option.”
