Brooklyn primary school classroom block

Client Brooklyn Primary School

Three-classroom block repainted across the July school holidays. Low-VOC water-based paints, completed two days ahead of term restart.

Three connected classrooms plus shared corridor, ~520m² of paintable wall and ceiling. Tight two-week window between term end and term start.

Spec'd Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen in Environmental Choice formulation throughout for VOC compliance — children back in the rooms the day after we finished. Walls in a custom-tint Resene Half Pearl Lusta, trim in full Pearl Lusta semi-gloss.

Worked 7am-5pm Monday-Saturday for the two weeks. Furniture stayed in classrooms, shrouded and shifted to one wall at a time. Caretaker did the floors after we finished.

Project value $19,800 including scaffolding on the high gable ends in the corridor. School board sign-off on the Friday before term started.
