SCIENCE LAB REFURBISHMENT
Specialist Laboratory Upgrades for Practical Learning
OSI delivered a full FF&E package within the science laboratories, including plumbing and gas works, safe disconnection and reconnection of services, and the removal and recycling of existing lab installations.
The refurbished spaces were completed with H-frame craft tables featuring speckled grey worktops and black frames, paired with Postura® stools in Ink Blue to create durable and practical workspaces suitable for hands-on learning environments.
CHANGING AREA IMPROVEMENTS
Durable Changing Facilities for Everyday Use
Within the school changing rooms, OSI installed new changing benching designed to improve comfort, organisation and long-term durability within high-use environments.
The updated facilities provide students with more practical and reliable spaces while helping modernise the overall appearance of the changing areas.

STUDENT STORAGE SOLUTIONS
Modern Corridor Storage Installations
Across the school corridors, OSI supplied and installed four-door lockers in a bold blue finish, helping provide secure and accessible student storage throughout shared spaces.
