Dining area canopy we designed for Rushcliffe SchoolWhen the senior management team decided to look at a covered area, they began talks with A&S Landscape to look at the options. Having identified where they wanted the canopy it was then down to agreeing the best design. The LRC quad had been an unloved, unused area of the school which flooded. The idea of giving it a new lease of life was very exciting.

Rushcliffe School in Nottinghamshire decided on a steel and polycarbonate canopy from the Motiva Duo range. It was installed at 16000mm x 8000mm with Green (RAL 6005) steelwork and an opal polycarbonate roof.

The children are pleased to have another area outside to enjoy. No more worrying about finding a seat to eat their lunch. Now they can socialise and eat at their leisure, encouraging social interaction and better eating habits. As we all know, when children have eaten well they can concentrate better and this leads to improved focus and learning. All this from a new canopy. A great result! Plus, watch our case study video to see even more of this dining area canopy and what the students think about the new addition.

We can help you from the beginning planning stages, right through to installation. Feel free to look through our gallery, which has more than 1500 images to inspire you.
