Hamilton North School had a large classroom space with 16 wheelchair students and all their aids, the classroom was cramped and there was nowhere for the students to have their physiotherapy programmes carried out.

The installation of the Archgolas have given more flexibility to the classrooms and reduced the congestion within the rooms especially for the older students who at times require space away from the whole class and support workers.

With the addition of curtains the space can be used daily in all conditions which greatly benefits the students and allows more space within the classroom.

Archgola provides greater utilisation of space

“The reason for choosing to go with Archgola was that we had a large classroom space with 16 wheelchair students and all their aids. This meant the classroom was cramped and there was nowhere for the students to have their physiotherapy programmes carried out.

We looked at various options and settled on an Archgola as the structure would provide a large area that could be utilised in all weathers. With the addition of curtains the space can be used daily in all conditions which greatly benefits the students and allows more space within the classroom.
