Gladesmore is an 11-16, mixed school with approximately 1,250 pupils. It is situated in the urban area of South Tottenham, adjacent to Markfield Park which backs onto the River Lea. It has repeatedly been judged to be an ‘Outstanding School’ in all aspects by Ofsted Inspectors.
The challenge
Both male and female student washrooms were to be fully refurbished in the main building as they were tired looking and the busiest in a school with 1200+ students. The old hand dryers were loud and slow to dry the hands. The washrooms were opposite classrooms, so noise was an issue. New hand dryers needed to be energy efficient, cost effective, robust, reliable, attractive and with quick drying times. waste. They also wanted to be able to keep the bathrooms cleaner, with less paper on the floor that had missed the bins.
The Result
“The hand dryers are robust while still looking attractive. They dry hands just as quick as a more expensive brand but at more than half the cost. The quick drying time has also helped to alleviate congestion at peak rush periods during break times. The ability to easily adjust the temperature and speed with no special tools is useful and can be done in under one minute.”
