The Ponteland School and Leisure Complex houses a 1,600-pupil secondary school, a 420-pupil primary school, and a 52-place nursery. The £43 million project has been hailed as one of the first of its kind in the UK and one of Northumberland County Council's largest-ever capital programmes.
Working with Kier Group Plc, Broxap designed and manufactured a range of street furniture and playground equipment to the project. You can view our Hand Made Places case study here.
Manufactured from galvanised steel to ensure durability and longevity, our Swansea Bollards were installed around the perimeter of the complex to showcase accessible parking spaces and provide additional safety.
Our Land Picnic Units provide comfortable outdoor seating for students and visitors. They give a modern twist on a classic design and are manufactured from high-quality timber, ensuring they last for many years to come. Several of our Outdoor Tennis Tables were placed next to the benches, encouraging people to play competitively and improve their hand-eye coordination.
A selection of Derby Compact Litter Bins and Derby Standard Litter Bins were situated throughout the outdoor area to encourage visitors to dispose of litter responsibly.
A range of cycle shelters and stands were provided to encourage students and staff to cycle to the complex, reducing traffic congestion and promoting a healthier lifestyle. Our Apollo Cycle Shelters, Cambridge Cycle Shelters and Sheffield Cycle Stands are manufactured from high-quality materials and designed to provide adequate protection from the elements.
Custom versions of our Sleeper Softwood Planters were also installed to add a touch of greenery to the outdoor area, creating a more inviting and pleasant environment.
Broxap's Street furniture has positively impacted the school and leisure complex, improving functionality, security, and aesthetic appeal.
