Challenge

Langley Design was approached by architects at Concertus to provide its cycle shelter expertise to ensure the new multi-million pound sixth form centre at Stowupland High School, Ipswich had a bike shelter which effortlessly blended in with the new building, whilst still being practical and allowing the required amount of bikes to be covered.

Solution

The company worked closely with all parties involved from start to finish to provide solutions and options, allowing everyone to get exactly what they wanted.

SEH French, the main contractor on this project, and the school chose a partially-enclosed Sheldon cycle shelter (SCS315). With cladding on three sides and an open front, it gives the right amount of protection to the bikes whilst still being easy to access.

A black stain was applied to the class 4 treated redwood to match the external finishes of the building, such as the door barriers and guttering.
