Grahame Park Library

Key Features

We were appointed to carry out refurbishment and remodelling works to Grahame Park Library in Barnet on behalf of Notting Hill Genesis.

This included internal and external works, alterations to the layout to achieve DDA compliance, emergency lighting, roller shutters, and revamping the reception area.

As the works progressed it emerged that the existing below ground drainage infrastructure was unsuitable for the proposed works.

As such we liaised with the client and their consultants in order to redesign the WC layout to suit the existing drainage.

The library is situated in a busy residential area meaning coordination of logistics and site activities was a high priority in order to minimise disruption and risk for those living nearby.

Robust health and safety measures were put in place for staff and visitors to achieve works segregation and to account for Covid restrictions.

Client Comments

“I just wanted to drop you a line now that we’re finishing off on the Library to say thank you for all your hard work. The place has been transformed and I’m very pleased. It’s been a difficult project from the start, with all the constraints and unknowns but I really appreciate Etec’s ability to adapt and adjust to find solutions. It will really make a big positive impact for local people at Grahame Park over the next few years and we should all be proud of the part we’ve played in making that happen.” – Steve Hall, Senior Project Manager, Notting Hill Genesis
