Education Marquees

Marquees for Graduations, Open Days and Events

Versatile Solutions

Marquees can serve as versatile and dynamic spaces for a variety of events, adding a touch of sophistication and practicality to gatherings like graduations, open days, and other special occasions. These temporary structures offer a unique blend of elegance and functionality, making them ideal for hosting memorable events.

Graduations

Graduations are significant milestones, marking the culmination of years of hard work and dedication. Marquees provide a distinguished setting for commencement ceremonies, shielding attendees from the elements while creating an atmosphere of celebration. The open design of marquees allows for ample natural light, fostering an uplifting ambience that complements the joyous spirit of graduation day.  Fews can provide structures of all sizes, including the Igloo which is capable of holding many thousands of guests.

Open Days 

Open days for educational institutions often require flexible spaces to showcase course offerings and engage with visitors. Marquees offer a blank canvas for customization, allowing organizers to tailor the environment to their specific needs. These structures can be transformed into interactive exhibition spaces, providing a comfortable and weather-resistant area for demonstrations, presentations, and networking opportunities.

Customizable Options

The adaptability of marquees extends to various events, from corporate gatherings to community festivals. Their modular design allows for easy expansion or contraction, accommodating different guest counts and event layouts. With customizable interior decor, lighting, and branding options, marquees provide organisers with the creative freedom to craft a unique and immersive experience for attendees.

Moreover, marquees offer practical advantages, such as shelter from inclement weather and temperature control, ensuring events can proceed smoothly regardless of external conditions. The portability of marquees also makes them suitable for diverse locations, allowing event organisers to choose scenic outdoor settings without sacrificing comfort or logistics.

Building on School Sites: Skills Needed

Constructing temporary classrooms on school sites requires a skilled workforce with specific qualifications:

DBS Checked Staff

All personnel involved in the construction process must undergo Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks to ensure a safe and secure working environment in proximity to students.

Flexible Delivery Schedule

The ability to deliver materials outside of school hours is essential to minimise disruptions to the ongoing educational activities and ensure the safety of students and staff alike. This requires coordination and planning to ensure a seamless construction process.

Health and Safety

There are a number of essential accreditations that are required to work in any environment.  Fews also operate on numerous nuclear sites which means a much higher level of training and accreditation.  There is more information on our accreditations and training programmes.

Visibility of Staff and Vehicles

All of our site staff wear branded hi-viz clothing and all of our vehicles are clearly branded for easy identification to ensure the safety of students and staff.

Use of Segregated Compounds

Fews always establish a compound to store materials and work safely away from staff and students.

Accreditations

Maintaining high professional standards is fundamental to the Fews approach. We have many health and safety, process and environmental accreditations including CHAS Elite, SafeContractor, Constructionline Silver, ISO9001 and ISO14001.
