Send College, hereford
Buckingham Pools are thrilled to be involved with AHR Architects Ltd and Tilbury Douglas Construction in the county’s most competitive project within the educational sector.
We are pleased to announce that our appointed scheme included a tailor-made 6m x 4m hydrotherapy pool finished with anti-slip tiles to provide SEND students the opportunity to exercise and experience healthy hydrotherapeutic benefits. The steel handrails fitted on all four sides of the pool and ribbed tile finished entry steps ensure easy access and safe usability for all pupils. It incorporates fast filtration, UV disinfection, and a water heating system to maintain regular hygiene and temperatures up to 34°C, to maximise the advantages of hydrotherapy.
With collective perseverance from all parties, we have achieved project completion in the first week of September 2021, now open with a smooth start to the new school year. The finished hydrotherapy pool is a vital part of the college facilities, including a full classroom hoist access, large community hall and multi-use games area.
