Student Gateway
In May 2018 the University of Sunderland undertook a comprehensive redevelopment and refurbishment project, transforming the Student Gateway building into a multi-functional space with a new entrance and lobby.
While the existing entrance was repurposed to align with the new layout, the extensive refurbishment of the existing interior spaces included the reception area, information desks, study zones, meeting rooms and student support offices.
Location: The Gateway, Chester Road, Sunderland SR1 3SD
Client: Brims
Assignment: Builders clean, sparkle clean, internal high-level cleaning & external window cleaning.
Brief
As well as changing the functionality of the space, the refurbishment focused on improving its aesthetic appeal through carefully selected finishes, colour schemes and modern furnishings, with the aim of creating a visually stimulating and inspiring environment that reflected the University’s brand identity.
The Cklip brief included the initial Builders’ Clean followed by a Sparkle Clean, internal high-level cleaning and external window cleaning; professional cleaning processes that are key to achieving a pristine, hygienic and presentation ready environment.
Analysis: Site Visit
Every build has unique specifications and on-site challenges, so our project managers always commit time to gaining a comprehensive understanding of the project’s objectives, timelines and specific cleaning requirements as a first step.
Through detailed conversation with the site manager a cleaning schedule is aligned with the construction schedule, ensuring efficient coordination and seamless integration of cleaning activities with ongoing construction work.
Additional considerations in this case included respecting the safety and wellbeing of students attending the adjacent building, which continued to operate at full capacity throughout the construction process.
Implementation: Works Carried Out
With a focus on safety, compliance with the university’s standards and expectations, and attention to detail, the Cklip team delivered both Builders’ and Sparkle Cleans within a two-week time frame, as scheduled.
Alongside routine tasks, they tackled the cleaning of internal and high-level glazing, sills and frames, as well as support beams, ducting and light fittings, which were attentively cleaned to ensure a flawless finish.
Hand Over
The final week of the project presented the Cklip team with a significant challenge as other trades experienced delays and slight changes to the program. However, through diligent planning and daily sub-contractor meetings, the team successfully navigated these obstacles and managed to deliver the project on time, much to the satisfaction of the client.
