Defining new teaching spaces with Forbo’s safety flooring

Combining exceptional slip resistance with contemporary aesthetics, Forbo Flooring Systems’ STEP safety vinyl collection has helped to define and enhance the practical teaching space within the new state-of-the-art Physiotherapy Centre at the University of Winchester.

As part of the project team, Veale Associates were appointed to design the key finishes of the new physiotherapy facility housed inside the university’s high-profile building in Winchester city centre. The result was an impressive open plan teaching space that is safe yet functional, while promoting a modern-day learning environment.

Approximately 240m2 of Surestep Original was installed in the physiotherapy practical teaching space with an additional 20m2 of the Violet colourway also used in the changing room. Delivering guaranteed R10 sustainable slip resistance for the lifetime of the product thanks to the Step Crystals in the wearlayer, Surestep is ideal for high traffic areas susceptible to spillage risks.
