Bath College

Client Overview

Bath College is a well-established further education provider with campuses across the region, including its City Centre campus in Bath and the Somerton campus in Radstock. Reliable building services are essential to maintaining safe and comfortable learning environments for students, staff and visitors.

Grey Man supports the college by maintaining and upgrading critical mechanical infrastructure that ensures heating and hot water systems operate efficiently across both campuses.

The Partnership

Grey Man has worked with Bath College since 2023, delivering planned maintenance, reactive engineering support and major plant room upgrade works across multiple sites.

The partnership is built on careful planning, strong communication and a shared commitment to delivering safe and reliable building services within a live educational environment.

The Project

Bath College undertook significant upgrades to three plant rooms located across its two campuses as part of a wider investment in improving system reliability, energy efficiency and long-term sustainability.

Grey Man was appointed to deliver the complete replacement and upgrade of these plant rooms, installing modern heating and hot water systems designed to improve performance while supporting the college’s operational requirements.

The Challenge

Delivering major mechanical upgrades within an active educational environment required careful coordination and planning.

Key challenges included:

• Completing works within strict holiday periods

• Minimising disruption to academic activities and daily operations

• Managing complex logistics across two separate campuses

• Ensuring safe and compliant installation within live educational environments

• Coordinating multiple system upgrades within limited timeframes

Our Solution

Grey Man planned and delivered the project during the Easter and Summer holiday periods to ensure there was no disruption to students or staff.

Key challenges included:

• Full replacement of three plant rooms across two campuses

• Removal and replacement of commercial gas boilers

• Installation of new heating and hot water pumps

• Installation of new flue systems

• Complete replacement of pipework and associated ancillary equipment

• Installation of new electrical supplies

• Installation of thermal insulation to improve system efficiency

• Full system commissioning and certification

Outcome

The upgraded plant rooms now provide Bath College with modern, reliable and efficient heating and hot water systems designed to support long-term operational performance.

The improvements enhance energy efficiency, reduce operational risks and contribute to the college’s wider sustainability objectives.

By carefully scheduling the project during holiday periods, Grey Man ensured that students and staff experienced no disruption to teaching or campus activities.
