Client: Hammersmith Academy
Type of works: supplied Xtralift passenger lifts.

Hammersmith Academy features two 13-person Stannah Xtralift passenger lifts to help bring access between four floors for school personnel and mobility compromised users, including students.

Operating over a distance of 13.2m each, the lifts feature plasticised, light-grey walls, ‘Domino’ suspended, downlighter-effect ceilings, and stainless-steel consoles, skirtings and car doors. Door-size graphics, G-1-2-3, printed on the external lift doors make the lifts easily located at each floor; and swipe-card access ensures that they can only be accessed by card-carrying users.

The Xtralifts were specified by Nathan Beevers, Associate of BHM Architects, a London architect practice: “As with all such projects, Hammersmith Academy demonstrates our response to the physical and emotional demands of the environment. In both product and performance, Stannah has supported this ethos and made a significant contribution to the efficiency and good health of the school. Having used Stannah on numerous projects we knew they would perform well from initial consultation to installation, commissioning and after-care.”

Available in models up to 33 persons, with many features, finishes and options, Xtralifts comply with EN 81-1, CE marked and in full compliance with The Lift Directive 95/16/EC; and ensure that Hammersmith Academy’s owners meet the requirements of the Equality Act 2010.
