A fantastic team effort by all involved… There’s nothing ‘plane’ about this project!

Brightly lit refurbished teaching room with yellow walls, blue carpet, and white desks arranged in rows, each paired with a chair. The ceiling has square lights and an air conditioning unit. A mural on the back wall depicts children holding red balloons, and windows with gray blinds line the right side

Virtus Contracts in partnership Marchini Curran Architects were instructed to undertake the refurbishment of East Midlands Training Centre on behalf of international airline. Split over 2 buildings.

The works included the reconfiguration of staff offices, classrooms and briefing rooms including new finishes and MEP throughout.

Phasing of the project was made more complicated as the buildings continued to operate whilst work was on going, including the flight simulator bays which are in operation 24hrs a day.
