Millfield School receive a wetpour surface for their new gym area above the swimming pool arena - Millfield School has been evolving since 1935 when it was founded by RJO Meyer, affectionately referred to as 'Boss'. Meyer's philosophy was:
"...to nurture talent by providing the very best facilities, teaching, coaching and opportunities in which young people can exercise and explore their abilities; and to give awards to those in financial need."
This philosophy has developed into an outstanding school with the very best facilities which include 130 staff sports coaches incorporating basketball, golf,hockey (indoor and outdoor), girls' athletics, fencing, modern pentathlon, triathlon, rugby union sevens, squash, cricket, orienteering, archery, horse riding and tennis. To back this up Millfield School have installed top quality Sportesse gym equipment which have been enhanced further by the installation of a wetpour rubber surface to absorb shock from the weights as they dropped to the ground. PMD were draughted in to install this surface which was no mean feat!
For health and safety reasons the wetpour mixing had to be done outside which meant the mixed materials had to be carried upstairs. The wetpour installers also had to endure extreme warmth due to the heat coming from the swimming pool water combined with the glass roof above allowing the sunlight to penetrate. Despite this, the installers completed the multi coloured flooring in 7 days in good spirit and to much joy of Millfield School.
