Project Overview
The team delivered the full mechanical and electrical installation for the new Centre of Performing Arts (COFA) Courtyard at Coventry College.
The project formed part of the college’s wider campus redevelopment, transforming an underused space into a modern, multi-purpose learning and collaboration area designed to support creative and digital studies.
Delivery Highlights
Working under Inside Limited, the team provided a complete M&E package that included:
- Mechanical ventilation, heating and cooling systems with exposed ductwork and fan coil units
- Lighting, small power and containment systems designed around flexible teaching and breakout zones
- Domestic water, drainage and sanitary installations
- Fire alarm and data systems integrated with the existing campus network
- Coordination with the architectural team to preserve the open ceiling aesthetic and maximise natural light from new rooflights
The works were delivered within a live college environment, with careful phasing to ensure student safety and minimal disruption to ongoing teaching.
Outcome
The completed COFA Courtyard provides Coventry College with a bright, energy-efficient and inspiring learning environment that supports collaboration and creativity.
Delivered on programme and to specification, the new M&E systems ensure long-term comfort, reliability, and operational efficiency for both staff and students.
