Music and Media Suite for Sir Tom Finney Community High School
Requirement
Sir Tom Finney Community High School required a new facility to provide students with additional opportunities to develop their music and media skills, including recording podcasts. Rider Levitt Bucknall, acting as the client’s agent, approached Wernick Refurbished Buildings following a number of previous enquiries.
Wernick was selected for the project due to our competitive pricing and the quality of our upfront service. From the outset, our team demonstrated a clear understanding of the needs of the end users, providing attention to detail and a responsive approach. We quickly attended site meetings and worked closely with the client to accommodate the fast turnaround required, ensuring the project could progress smoothly.

Solution
Wernick delivered a single-storey, four-bay refurbished modular building during the school summer holidays to avoid disruption to pupils’ learning. The new facility provides a music classroom, recording booth, toilet facilities, a cleaners’ cupboard and a storeroom.
To enhance the teaching and learning environment, the building was fitted with acoustic ceiling tiles, upgraded carpet tiles and soundproofing enhancements to walls and glazing. Externally, the building features Trespa cladding and deep boxed-out fascias for a modern and durable finish.
The project was successfully completed within the required timeframe, ensuring the school had a fully functional and high-quality space ready for the new term.
The space will be lifechanging for our students and young people, giving them opportunities that they wouldn’t have otherwise been afforded.
