Is the school dining room big enough? Do we need to extend the dining room outdoors? What options are available? Do we have enough teaching spaces? Can we bring lessons outdoors to enjoy the sunshine? These are many questions schools face when looking to extend outside.
When it comes to upgrading the school facilities there is a budget and you have to be mindful that you don’t spend too much of it as there may be other things that the school needs to purchase. Make sure you look at all the options available before committing as some can be heavily priced.
One of the most cost-effective ways of extending the school dining room without blowing the budget is building an extension from a canopy. You may think school canopies are a big outlay, but they are a fraction of the cost of an extension and will leave you with lots of leftover cash to spend on other much-needed school supplies.
The range of covered canopies all has a Sunlite™ UV roof, a rust-proof and maintenance-free aluminium frame and surface-sited concrete blocks which means no need for any builders. As well as our stock sizes, we can tailor your canopy to fit your building, any size, to go on any surface and in any colour.
School Project East Leake Academy, Loughborough
In September 2021, we supplied and installed a 17m x 4m canopy structure for East Leake Academy in Loughborough. The canopy allowed them to extend their dining space cheaper than the other quotes they received.
Protect Canopies have now covered the outdoor space so that the pupils can enjoy lunch outside rain or shine.
