Northfleet Technology College

Northfleet Technology College is an 11-16 secondary education establishment for boys with a completely new school building which has been designed to meet the needs of 21st century learners. The building has a functional beauty which not only offers outstanding learning facilities but also ensures students feel safe and secure.

Nortek were successful in tendering for a large majority of the loose furniture requirements within the school. VS series 600 mobile storage cupboards with Gratnell tray storage as well as adjustable shelves provided flexible and useful classroom dividers. These were colour coded to suit the individual spaces along with the VS PantoSwing chairs. Nortek directly manufactured the trapezoidal tables with solid core laminate tops providing years of use. Mobile power & data columns provided IT connectivity in the central spaces with space planning provided by Nortek to allow floor boxes to be positioned in exactly the right places.

Large collaborative learning tables within the break-out spaces and learning resource centre enabled a large number of students to access quiet individual study space.

Nortek also provided the Principal’s office furniture using VS Series 901 desk arrangements along with Series 800 cupboard systems. Flexible furniture such as the Kinetic mobile, folding desk range were also supplied across the school with a solid core laminate work surface providing the durability that school’s require.

A clever use of colour specified by the Nortek team gave each space it’s own individual character whilst still maintaining a corporate identity throughout.
