Large Outdoor Dining Canopy Area at The Gilberd School in Essex

The new dining canopy at The Gilberd School in Colchester was a completely bespoke design which has changed school life for the students for the better. We think it looks fantastic!

Project – The Gilberd School in Essex add large outdoor canopy for pupils 

Product – Motiva Duo

Requirement – The Gilberd School in Colchester wanted to create an outdoor dining space for students. There was a large area of the playground which was unused and they identified this as the perfect place to create their new dining canopy. They were keen to create the largest canopy that their space would take.

Solution – The steel and polycarbonate canopy that was chosen was from our Motiva Duo range. It measured 24m x 15m and was specified with red polycarbonate panels at one end. These panels tied into some existing red on the adjacent school building. The overall aesthetic was very modern with clean lines. The school added seating underneath where the students could sit to eat and relax whatever the weather had to offer.

Result – The new dining canopy at The Gilberd School in Colchester was a completely bespoke design which has changed school life for the students for the better. We think it looks fantastic!
