Kingswinford Academy in Kingswinford, Birmingham is known as one of the best schools in the area, and constantly aims to increase its own standard with its motto, 'Aspire for Excellence'. Since joining Windsor Academy Trust in November 2016, the school has invested heavily in revamping and upgrading its facilities to help improve the student experience.
As part of the latest upgrade, the school needed more dining space to relieve pressure on indoor facilities. They contacted Kensington Systems for help.
After a detailed design process, we installed a large Spaceshade dining canopy 29.5m length x 10m wide overlooking the school field.
The project included not only a large dining canopy but a smaller link canopy between the dining canopy and the existing building.
Kingswinford Academy also chose to install artificial turf underneath the new canopy to avoid any challenges with muddy surfaces in poor weather.
Choosing a Spaceshade canopy enables the school to retrofit solar panels onto the canopy at a later date if desired. Designed and engineered to be future proofed and solar-ready, Spaceshade canopies can be used as dining canopies, walkway canopies, entrance canopies, socialising spaces and more.
