As part of Fitzalan High School’s vision to provide students with a welcoming outdoor space, Broxap partnered with Kier Construction to design and build an integrated street furniture solution that enhances the school's look and usability.

The new 1,773-sq ft building is part of a £64 million project, funded by Cardiff Council and the Welsh Government, to replace the old site from the 1960s.

A series of outdoor seating and tables, including Broxap's Derriford Benches, Helston Curved Bench, Harborne Seats and Sale Concrete Benches were installed across the school campus. Broxap also designed and manufactured a suite from their Litchard range, including Litchard Benches, Seats, and Square Tables. This variety of seating styles, along with the addition of their Outdoor Table Tennis Table, provides plenty of space for fun and socialisation during breaks.

Recognising the importance of shelter in outdoor spaces, we installed five runs of their Coventry Cantilever Canopies across the school, including at the football pitch, eco garden, sprinkler tank, and in the north and south staff parking areas. Under each, a row of Sheffield Cycle Stands and Racks provides ample and secure bicycle parking, helping the school to promote a healthy lifestyle and reduce the carbon footprint associated with transportation.

Broxap's Triple Conic Canopy was installed in the main schoolyard, opening up the outside space and providing shelter for students during break times. Underneath, their Enfield Tables and Benches were installed to make dining more enjoyable and comfortable in all weathers. An additional Square Conic Canopy was also installed at the south visitor parking.

Eleven of their Synergy Recycling Bins were installed across the school campus, especially near seating areas. They feature clear labelling on each side for ‘general waste’ and ‘recycling’ to encourage students to separate waste correctly.

Stainless Steel Bollards were installed along the school’s main pathway for physical barriers and visual guidance. We also installed cast aluminium signs for disabled parking in the parking areas.

The positive feedback Broxap have received affirms that well-designed street furniture can truly transform outdoor school spaces into vibrant areas for collaboration.
