The Requirement

To enhance the functionality and aesthetics of the college’s new sports arena and link building by installing modern outdoor table settings and benches, providing comfortable seating and recreational spaces for students and visitors, while also incorporating new indoor bins to promote a clean and environmentally responsible environment within the facility.

The Challenges

Space Constraints: Determining the optimal layout and placement of outdoor table settings, benches, and indoor bins to efficiently utilise available space without compromising accessibility, comfort, or functionality.

Material Selection: Choosing appropriate materials for the outdoor table settings, benches, and indoor bins that can withstand weather conditions, daily wear and tear, and potential vandalism, while being low-maintenance and environmentally friendly.

Aesthetics and Design: Balancing functionality with visual appeal, as the college wanted to create an inviting and attractive environment both outdoors and indoors that complements the new sports arena's design and surrounding areas.

Long-term Maintenance: Planning for minimal ongoing maintenance over time to reduce cost and disruptions.

Waste Management: Selecting attractive and high quality  indoor bins that encourage recycling and responsible waste disposal, while also accommodating the school's waste management system.

The Solution

Trinity Catholic College is successfully addressing the challenges and enhancing the functionality and aesthetics of the new sports arena  and link building by selecting the Paris Setting with Seats, Paris Seat, and Prague Bins for their outdoor and indoor spaces.

These products provide the following advantages:

• Durable Materials: The Paris DDA Setting with Seats and Paris DDA Seat feature heavy-duty powder-coated steel frames and maintenance-free wood grain aluminium slats with a western red cedar finish. The Prague Dual 80L Bin is made from a heavy 3mm galvanised steel plate with a premium powder coat. These material choices ensure long-lasting durability, resistance to weather conditions, and low maintenance.
• Aesthetic Appeal: The western red cedar finish on the outdoor settings and benches, combined with the sleek black design of the indoor bins, offers visually appealing and complementary designs that create a cohesive and inviting environment in the sports arena.
• Space Optimisation: The selected products are designed to efficiently utilise the available space, offering comfortable seating and recreational experiences for students and visitors without compromising accessibility or functionality.
• Customisation Options: The school had the option to choose custom lengths, slat types, laser-cut logos, and powder coat colours for the outdoor settings and benches, as well as custom signage and colours for the indoor bins, ensuring the best fit for their specific needs.
• Safety and Compliance: The outdoor settings, benches, and indoor bins are designed and manufactured with safety and compliance in mind, adhering to the necessary standards and regulations.
• Easy Maintenance: The wood grain aluminium slats on the outdoor settings and benches are maintenance-free, easy to wipe clean and resistant to wear and tear. The Prague Dual 80L Bin features removable moulded plastic liners and heavy-duty camlocks, making waste management easy and efficient.
