New Generation Community School
Eastern High a new high school and further education centre was completed in 2018, funded by Cardiff Council and the Welsh Government as part of the £164 million ‘21st Century Schools’ upgrade programme across Cardiff. It was built by Willmott Dixon to accommodate 1200 school pupils and a further 320 college students.
Eastern High provides a smooth transition for high school leavers to continue in further, post-16 education and training on the same premises. It also supports the wider local community with a range of leisure and learning facilities.
This new generation community school required pupil washrooms that provided a modern and pleasing aesthetic environment with the strength to endure high traffic whilst maintaining privacy.
The designers implemented Department of Education guidelines and built off corridor open plan gender unisex washrooms to ensure good teacher supervision, prevent a bullying culture and accommodate gender and religious sensibilities.
To achieve this the school chose our very popular Q-13 Tall cubicle & IPS panel system together with our room centred solid surface vanity units that split the Cubicles ranges into two equal banks.
