CASE STUDY 1: The Complete Transformation

From Chaos to Classroom: A Complete ICT Suite Transformation
When Hounslow Heath Infant & Nursery School needed to modernise their ICT provision, they faced a common problem: outdated networking, unsafe trailing cables, and no internal resources to manage a major building project.

The iForge Solution: One Team, One Contact
Normally, transforming a room into an ICT suite requires a school to hire an architect, a builder, an electrician, a joinery firm for custom desks, and a network installer—all while trying to coordinate with their internal IT team.

Because iForge’s Managing Director brings 40 years of construction experience, we offered the school a genuine “design and build” service. iForge handled the entire project from start to finish:

• Design & Build: Bespoke room layout options, new furniture, seating, and complete electrical installation.

• Infrastructure: Structured cabling, active network equipment, and a hardware firewall.

• Hardware: 32 new PCs, a teaching computer, a networked colour laser printer, and a SMARTBoard 660 with a short-throw projector.

• Integration: Full liaison with LGfL for remote access and ongoing IT support.

“iForge took the entire headache of building an ICT suite away from us. From the joinery to the networking, it was all handled by one team. The finished suite is beyond what we imagined.”
— Headteacher, Hounslow Heath Infant & Nursery School

The Result

A chaotic, unsafe room was transformed into a bright, inspiring, and fully networked learning environment. The school gained a modern ICT suite with zero hassle, dealing with just one dedicated project manager from start to finish.

Project Highlights

• Layout: Custom-designed to maximise space and natural light.

• Networking: Certified reliable backbone and secure firewall.

• Software: Microsoft Windows Server, Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Exchange, and enforced anti-virus/anti-spyware.
