Cleaning the atrium of UWE’s Business School
The building that houses the Bristol Business School is considered the ‘Jewel in the Crown’ of UWE’s Frenchay campus. OneFifty was therefore delighted to be asked to carry out the high-level interior cleaning of the impressive atrium of this much-prized building.
We’ve carried out several exterior cleaning projects for UWE, including the façade of the Bristol Business School. The surveyor in charge of UWE’s estates and facilities was impressed by the high standard of our work, so on learning that we had the solution and expertise to carry high-level interior cleaning, he booked us to work on the atrium.
A WORLD CLASS FACILITY AND A SHOW-CASE BUILDING
UWE, and the Bristol Business School, have a fantastic reputation and students come from all over the world to study here. This world-class facility was created to reflect the university’s reputation and showcase the school’s unique facilities.
The interior spaces have also been created to promote a cohesive relationship between campus, industry, and local community. As you walk in through the main doors you are greeted by a welcoming café which is used by visitors, businesses, students and staff alike. As you look up, you can clearly see the stand-out learning spaces such as the Bloomberg City Trading Room, and the Mock Law Courts where students can act out real scenarios.
The grand stair in the atrium links the various levels of the building, with bridges at every level connecting the staff and student zones. There are also breakout, meeting, and study spaces on all floors. All in all, it is a beautifully designed, inspiring space that deserves to be carefully maintained to the highest standards.
TOP QUALITY PROFESSIONAL INTERIOR CLEANING
Our work involved cleaning the huge floor-to-ceiling windows that face out onto the atrium, the glazed balustrades surrounding the central space on every level, and all of the interior windows of the building.
We do a lot of high-level internal cleaning and every project has its own unique requirements. On this project work needed to be completed over a weekend and so time was of the essence.
KNOW HOW AND THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT
We knew from experience that we could utilise a Spider (a specialist type of mobile elevated working platform) that has the ability to fit through the double doors of the main entrance, allowing us to safely reach and clean the highest sections of the atrium. In addition, we utilised a second smaller platform to allow us to tackle the lower to mid-tier sections whilst also having operatives working from the ground, to ensure we had every surface covered.
OneFifty's director, Max Morris comments; “Our experienced team know exactly what is required for this type of project and all cleaning was carried out with a great deal of great care, and attention to detail. Our thorough checking process helps ensure nothing gets missed and that the outcome is of the highest standard. Everything was completed on deadline, and this stunning space was left shining and clean, ready to greet the students when they returned from their Christmas break.
"For UWE, having a trusted local service provider with expertise across a range of different services is useful, and we have been contracted to carry out numerous other building projects."
