Fit out for The Mackenzie School of English, Edinburgh
The Mackenzie School of English is a language school for international 12 - 17 yr olds in Leith, Edinburgh and were moving to a bigger building just around the corner from their old place. The building is a converted Church with 3 floors. There was a considerable amount of fit out work to be done in this old building especially on the 1st and 2nd floor in order to divide the space into classrooms.

The main purpose of the move was to enable the school to grow and to offer a space that attracts students and is a pleasant place for staff to work. Now the MacKenzie School of English has one of the nicest and most inspiring teaching environment amongst their peers.
The building, originally called St John’s Church, was constructed in the late 18th century and redeveloped for office use in the early 1990s. The landmark listed building with its iconic stone Church tower in the centre of Leith has stood empty for a few years and came with a few surprises when our fit out team started on the demolition.
It proved to be both an interesting as well as difficult building to work on, but now it has all the infrastructure a state of the art school needs, such as CCTV, sound and projection systems, interactive screens, new electrics, fire safety measures, data cabling etc.
Using a basic lay-out drawing, the Amos Beech fit out team created full space planning, all construction drawings and organised the necessary building warrants. The kitchen was extended and new flooring was put down on the ground floor.
In the two images above you can see some of the construction work taking place while we were filming our company video to be introduced later this summer.
And that's why we like what we do:
Can't thank @amos_beech enough for all the hard work they've put in over the last few months. The new school looks incredible and we couldn't be happier. #work #dedication #newbuilding #construction #amosbeech #Edinburgh #Leith #Scotland #travel #studyabroad #learnenglish
