Equally important was partnering with a[ reputable, trustworthy supplier](https://kensingtonsystems.co.uk/why-us) with a proven track record in the education sector, which led to [Kensington Systems](https://kensingtonsystems.co.uk/about-us) being selected for the project. ![Cranbrook Education Campus - under the outdoor dining canopy](https://26880358.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hub/26880358/hubfs/Website%20Imagery/Spaceshade/Cranbrook%20Education%20Campus%20-%20dining%20canopy%20(4).jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=Cranbrook%20Education%20Campus%20-%20dining%20canopy%20(4).jpg) Kensington Systems supplied and installed a Spaceshade canopy designed to integrate seamlessly with the contemporary character of the building. The clean, modern structure features a dark grey finish that aligns with the existing window frames and overall façade, creating a cohesive and considered visual outcome. With over 45 years of experience and hundreds of [canopy installations](https://kensingtonsystems.co.uk/case-studies) completed in schools across the UK, Kensington was able to provide a solution that balances aesthetic appeal with robust, long-lasting performance, giving the client confidence in both design and longevity.    ![Cranbrook Education Campus - outdoor dining canopy structures](https://26880358.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hub/26880358/hubfs/Website%20Imagery/Spaceshade/Cranbrook%20Education%20Campus%20-%20dining%20canopy%20(7).jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=Cranbrook%20Education%20Campus%20-%20dining%20canopy%20(7).jpg) In addition to the canopy installation, Kensington Systems delivered a complete package of works, including all necessary groundworks and full site reinstatement. This turnkey approach ensured efficient project delivery and a consistently high standard of finish throughout.   ![Cranbrook Education Campus - dining walkway canopy structure](https://26880358.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hub/26880358/hubfs/Website%20Imagery/Spaceshade/Cranbrook%20Education%20Campus%20-%20dining%20canopy.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=Cranbrook%20Education%20Campus%20-%20dining%20canopy.jpg) The project was handed over snag-free and ready for immediate use, providing Cranbrook Education Campus with a durable, attractive outdoor space that supports everyday student life while reflecting the school’s commitment to quality and future-focused design.   [![Looking to upgrade your outdoor space?
