Case Study: Emmanuel College
Background
Emmanuel College recently undertook the refurbishment of four existing science labs and the creation of two new ones. Science labs require a specialised approach to learning space design – from safe chemical storage and classroom layout to the specification of purpose-fit products that meet students' educational and safety needs.
Products such as Bunsen burners, laboratory sinks, hand wash stations, emergency showers, and accessible toilets must meet the specific requirements outlined in the architect's brief.
The new science facilities at Emmanuel College were designed to incorporate bold colours and geometric patterns, creating a fun and engaging environment to inspire student learning.
Solution
When selecting products for state-of-the-art educational facilities like these, Matt Cirillo of Cirillo Architects strongly recommended Enware. Product quality was a key factor – particularly durability and ease of maintenance. “I always tell clients you get what you pay for,” Matt explains. In high-traffic, high-demand student environments, designs must be practical, intuitive to use, and capable of sparking interest in science.
Enware is a market leader in school science lab solutions. Its products are developed to meet the specific needs of the education sector, encouraging curiosity while standing up to daily student use.
With tight school construction schedules, particularly around term rotations, it was critical that the project was delivered quickly and to a high standard.
“If I had the choice, I would choose Enware products over any other. I’ve been plumbing for over 15 years and never had an issue with Enware.”
– Brad Turner, Director, BWT Plumbing
Brad Turner and his team at BWT Plumbing led the installation. He found Enware’s solutions efficient and straightforward to work with. In particular, the accessible toilet units stood out for their speed of installation:
“It already has the built-in backrest on the toilet, so it’s ready to go. All you need to do is bolt it to the floor,” Brad noted.
Enware is backed by strong technical support and responsive service. On-site plumbers can easily contact the customer service team with questions or use Enware’s intuitive website for project-specific resources. This level of support, along with the simplicity of installation, makes Enware a trusted partner for school projects.
