Pupils at St Joseph’s Catholic Comprehensive School in Swindon are set to benefit from a new state-of-the-art teaching environment when they return to school after the summer break.

The school is being completely rebuilt under the government’s Private Finance Initiative at a cost of £15.3 million; construction work began in summer 2004. It will cater for almost 1400 pupils and staff.

Contractor NG Bailey is installing Flex Connectors’ Flex 7 modular chains, connection units and pre-wired plugs throughout the school. The versatility of this lighting connection range meant it was suitable for use in a range of areas including classrooms, library, administrative areas, sports facilities and ICT rooms.

The building was designed for use by pupils and the local community. Particular emphasis was put on light levels and aiding the flow of people around the site at all times and all weathers.
