Pictures are worth 1000 words, but they don't show it all. Not pictured is: the replacement of two double sockets that were cracked, purchase and installation of the missing water fountain piece so it's now back in service (and cleaning out the eye wateringly smelly waste trap!), repairing the fist sized hole in the door to the boy's toilet, sourcing and installing missing skirting, cleaning out crisp packets from the hallway heater, scrubbing very well adhered grime off the floor, and finally, the fact that the toilets no longer stink!
Contractors' toilet
Contractors' toilet
Now know as the funky toilet
🚧 Work in progress: the back of the toilet and the sink area still need to be tiled.

Work in progress
Not pictured: swapping this from 'gentlemen' to 'toilet', peeling off the man toilet sign, punching the protruding nail heads down flush to the wall, and reaffixing a fallen skirting tile.
Accessible outdoor toilet

🚧 Work in progress. Still to come: repair to the outer doors, replacement locks, some brighter colors on the walls.

Work in progress
Not pictured: the absolute filth coming up off the floor (didn't replace the floor, just cleaned it), scraping off the peeling paint, and the fact that this toilet no longer stinks!

AKA "bird toilet" because of the swallow nesting in there

Not pictured: the 4 layers of paint that somehow didn't get through the rust on the radiator. Honorable mention to swapping the hand soap and the towel dispenser to avoid this issue in the future! Could use a deep clean of the floor, and replacement of all of the boxing around the sanitary ware as/when budget allows.

✅ Completed August 2026
Special thanks to a crew of enthusiastic volunteers from AECOM who kicked off this project and did the bulk of the horrible boring jobs - scraping endless amounts of flaking paint, sugar soaping all the walls, taping a level line across the back wall, filling holes small, large (and/or inexplicable), sanding the dried filler, mist coating the now exposed bare plaster, and getting almost half of the area painted with the first coat. A few extra sessions with some parent volunteers completed the transformation just in time for the new school year in September 2026!
