Inscape chosen for education, healthcare and leisure construction projects
Inscape has landed four new North West projects spanning the education, healthcare and leisure sectors.
Kier Northern appointed us to provide washroom packages for the new St John Vianney SEND School in Stretford, Manchester. The same contractor also chose us for a new surgical centre being developed at Victoria Infirmary in Northwich, Cheshire.
Meanwhile, John Robinson Building Contractors has appointed us to provide washroom packages for the redevelopment of the theatre at Lowther Pavilion & Gardens in Lytham, Lancashire.
Read Construction also selected us to provide the washroom facilities as part of a £2m refurbishment project at Wrexham Tennis Centre in Wales.

Gary Wynne, managing director of Inscape, said: “What all these developments have in common is that they will have a hugely positive impact on communities, from cutting waiting times for patients, keeping people active, educating young people, or enabling people to have great cultural experiences.
“We’re proud to have been trusted by our clients, some of the region’s most respected tier 1 and tier 2 contractors, to support the delivery of these prestigious projects.”
The new state-of-the-art £18.2m Cheshire and Merseyside Surgical Centre at Victoria Infirmary, Northwich, will be capable of treating 12,000 patients a year. Due to open in 2025, the centre will focus on ophthalmology and other surgical services, including operating theatres, recovery areas and consulting rooms. Inscape is providing hygienic, healthcare-standard IPS duct panelling systems for the washroom areas of the development.
A new 150-seat education centre and studio theatre is being constructed at Lytham’s Lowther Pavilion & Gardens as part of a £1.2m redevelopment project. Inscape will be providing full height toilet cubicle systems, IPS duct panelling systems, and vanity troughs for the washrooms.
The renowned Wrexham Tennis Centre is investing £2m it received from the Shared Prosperity Fund to improve and upgrade facilities at the long-established centre, including the creation of three new public padel courts, as well as new floodlights and the resurfacing of existing tennis courts. Inscape is providing full-height toilet cubicles, bench seating and leisure lockers for the washroom and changing areas.
At St John Vianney School, Stretford, Kier is building a replacement school for leaners with special educational needs and disabilities. Once complete, the school will achieve net zero emissions in operation thanks to features like air-source heat pumps and solar panels. Supporting around 160 learners, it will include primary and secondary classrooms, specialised classrooms for subjects such as D&T and IT, sensory rooms, therapy rooms and a sports hall. Inscape will provide Department for Education-compliant toilet cubicle systems with emergency release, as well as IPS duct panelling systems.
