Booth 1 was installed in the 1980s and has not been working for the last 5 years. Booth 2 was installed in the 1990s and has recently had some repairs and maintenance carried out to keep it operating. The existing paint room has poor ventilation due to the age / size of the mechanical systems; limited preparation spaces due to the design being based on the existing building configuration; and poor lighting. The paint room needs to be modernised to meet operational requirements and environmental and safety standards. The replacement of Booth 1 is required to achieve productivity and efficiency during practical training blocks so that students are not waiting around for other work to be finished and the quality of work is not compromised The project comprises three separate work components: This procurement is for Phase C.
