Project overview

The Wing D Extension at the Jewish Community Secondary School (JCoSS) in Cockfosters expands the school’s facilities with new general and specialist classrooms. Designed by RHWL Architects and approved by the London Borough of Barnet, the extension replaces a rooftop terrace above the Sports Hall.

The new space includes classrooms for design technology and information technology, a centrally located outdoor workshop terrace and improved circulation areas. GA Interiors delivered the partition, ceiling and carpentry works for main contractor Thomas Sinden Ltd.

Our scope

GA Interiors delivered the interior fit-out of the extension, supporting the school’s fire, acoustic and ventilation strategies:

• SFS, drylining and partitions, with insulation
• Suspended ceilings and MF ceilings, with acoustic panels
• Tape and joint finishes and decorating
• Glazed partitions
• Fire stopping
• Floor screeding, cladding and render
• Carpentry

Challenges and solutions

• Natural ventilation: the ceilings were set out to take Monodraught windcatcher grilles with motorised dampers, together with the lighting, to maintain indoor air quality and energy efficiency.
• Working with the existing building: the new partitions and ceilings were built to integrate with the existing structure of the school.

Outcome

GA Interiors completed the partition, ceiling and carpentry works for Thomas Sinden, giving JCoSS modern, functional learning spaces for students and staff.
