Gordons School’s existing space was designed as a leisure/sports centre gym and then modified over time to help fit the department’s needs. Certain limitations of the space were impacting the programme and the integration of S&C within the PE curriculum. Higher demand for open-use sessions by boarders had also prompted the review. The school opted for a new build, modular structure to be installed alongside the existing pitches and sports hall to create a sporting hub on campus.
Four Standard Power Racks have been installed, with internal and external lifting bays to allow for a multiple concurrent users. Integrated platforms have been installed within racks to allow for better performance of Olympic lifts, as well as eliminating trip hazards. A large central area has been retained, complete with a 10m x 1.5m multisport, line marked track.
Gordon’s School colours and branding have been included on the platforms, with bespoke rack joining plates created at the team’s request.
The equipment installed included:
- Standard Power Racks x 4
- Inset Lifting Platform
- Compact Dual Adjustable Pulley
- PB Olympic Bars and Discs
- Foam Plyo Boxes
- Duratrain Performance Flooring
