Torquay Academy – Platform Building
Education
Project Overview
Torquay Academy’s Platform Building is a large, multi-use hall that can transform into a state-of-the-art theatre. It also offers a large spill-out space to cater for events.
The remainder of the downstairs features changing rooms and dance studios which boosts the school's already-extensive sports facilities.
As well as carrying out a range of electrical installations to ensure the Platform Building was safe, light, and well-equipped, we also installed stage lighting infrastructure to enable students to learn how to use professional lighting and sound equipment. This was fitted in a control room in the gallery space above the theatre.
