Pre-construction Phase: top floor. This room was the staff kitchen. It will be refurbished as a laundry room for the learning disability support service. You can see a hole in the floor from the intrusive asbestos survey.

Pre-construction Phase: top floor. The stairwell at the top of the west staircase. All of the furniture had to be removed and was donated to local charities. The carpet has been removed to test the condition of the floor.
