What was once a standard classroom at St. Benildus College has now been reimagined as a dynamic, purpose-built gym space for students. With a growing focus on health, fitness, and overall student well-being, the school saw an opportunity to convert the underutilised room into a dedicated training area to support its Physical Education programme. The goal was to create an inviting, functional environment where students could engage in strength and conditioning safely and effectively during PE classes—laying the foundation for lifelong fitness habits.

Design & Preparations

To ensure the new gym would meet the specific needs of students, the project began with a close collaboration between the design team and St. Benildus College. Using detailed site measurements and input from the Physical Education department, a custom 3D design was created to visualise the transformation from classroom to training space. This allowed the school to explore different layout options and ensure optimal use of the available area. The final plan focused on creating a safe, functional, and engaging environment that supports group training, supervision, and efficient movement throughout the space.

Installation

The full installation was completed over five days by a team of three skilled installers, ensuring every detail—from flooring to custom equipment—was executed to the highest standard.

The result is a gorgeous, modern gym that blends form and function, with custom elements that reflect the school’s commitment to quality Physical Education.The transformation has been met with enthusiasm from both staff and students, marking a significant upgrade in the school’s athletic facilities.

Key Equipment

The gym was outfitted with high-quality, durable equipment tailored to the needs of a school environment. At the heart of the space is a custom combination bench, rack, and weightlifting platform—designed as a multifunctional station to support a wide range of strength and conditioning exercises. The integrated platform provides a safe and defined space for Olympic lifts and foundational movements, while the sturdy bench and rack setup allows for supervised training with proper technique. These custom pieces not only maximise functionality within a compact footprint but also give students a professional-grade experience during their Physical Education sessions.
