Purcell School, Hertfordshire.

Scope of Works

Project Overview:  

WSW successfully transformed an outdated student dormitory at The Purcell School in Hertfordshire into a high-specification, soundproofed music room. The project involved a complete refurbishment designed to meet the school’s specific needs for a high-quality, acoustically optimised space for student practice and performance.

Client Requirements: 

The client sought to repurpose an old student dorm and convert it into a state-of-the-art music room. The space needed to be soundproofed to a professional standard, as well as updated with modern electrical systems and high-end finishes to support the students’ learning and musical development.

Scope of Work: 

• Refurbishment Works: Full renovation of the former dormitory space to meet the new design specifications.
• Demolition of Smaller Units: Removal of internal structures to create an open, functional music room.
• Electrical Work: Installation of modern electrical systems tailored for a music room environment.
• Soundproofing: Professional soundproofing to ensure optimal acoustics for music practice.
• External Works: Enhancements to the exterior of the building to complement the internal refurbishment.

Results and Outcome: 

The refurbishment was completed to the client’s satisfaction, and the students are now enjoying the benefits of the newly transformed, soundproofed music room. The space has significantly enhanced the school’s music programme, providing a professional and conducive environment for learning and practice.
