The fit-out of a new primary school building in North-West London has featured the installation of half a dozen different configuration of high quality stainless steel work-surfaces within its teaching, staff and family areas, specified for their durability and visual appeal as well as the creation of hygienic, easy to clean and maintain facilities.
The Edith Neville Primary School in Camden has been built by Orpington based Neilcott Construction for the London Borough of Camden with Hayhurst and Co. Architects leading the design team. The move into the new premises took place over the Christmas holidays and will allow the old premises to be demolished. Project Architect, Jamie Wakefield, commented: “I had seen GEC sinks on another project and we specified them as part of a full Stage 4 design for the Edith Neville Primary School, which has been built for the London Borough of Camden. Schools inevitably get some very heavy usage, but with stainless steel it is easy to clean the surfaces up and get them looking smart again. The different GEC fabrications feature throughout the new school as art sinks in each classroom and as tea-point countertops in various places including a family area. There is also one in the staff kitchenette and a special studio space. They look good.”
The many and varied units supplied by G. E. C. Anderson include a total of 16 in varying sizes from 1440mm long x 600mm deep and up to 3073mm long x 650mm deep, all with flat surfaces for food preparation and stacking dishes, including ten units supplied with one full size sink and six with a full sink together with half sink, plus three with cut out for cooker hobs, while 300mm high slashbacks- again in stainless steel, help prevent water or waste material staining or damaging the walls. The tops also incorporate five different edge details for such purposes as preventing water run-off.
Since its formation in 1962, GEC Anderson has built its reputation for the supply of top end stainless steel sinks and sanitaryware on a combination of innovative design, top quality materials and expert craftsmanship. In addition to the company’s Decimetric system of cabinets, sinks, drainers and other equipment – widely specified for sectors including health and catering – it is able to create custom engineered solutions to exactly fit any space or specification.

Working directly for the nursery, GEC Anderson were commissioned to measure, manufacture and install a number of made to measure stainless steel worktops for the main kitchen and serving area; art area; store room, utility room; staff room as well as the general play area. Additionally, a number of splashbacks and panels were supplied in the washrooms and outdoor play areas.
Worktops feature GEC Anderson’s edge 7 (40mm) and were all made to the specific sizes required, including a curved and angled servery area to the main kitchen. Coloured wall tiles were installed prior to the worktops, so the fit needed to be very precise. Cutouts for appliances were provided where required.
Measuring and installation was carried out by GEC Anderson.
