The works include the replacement of the existing extract fan which had a
major failure in 2018 causing a significant amount of downtime for the
catering operation. The unit is a number of years old and is located on
the roof of the boiler house on top of the Plough Lane building. The new
location will be on top of the lower flat roof portion above the kitchen
area so will be much easier to access for maintenance/repairs.

The new system will incorporate heat recovery and therefore be more
energy efficient than pulling warm air out of the kitchen and having to
re-heat the area via the radiators.

The works include the replacement of the existing aluminium kitchen
canopy with stainless steel thereby making it compliant with current
standards.

The works have been discussed by the BWOW Project Group and are
required as part of future plans intended to benefit the community.
