Sprinkler systems in Schools what’s the future

Cancellation of the Building Schools for the Future programme will stop dead the momentum for the acceptance of sprinkler systems in educational programmes. In addition, the loss of a major construction programme will have a devastating effect upon the building industry, already damaged by the downturn in the housing and commercial market. Where builders and developers may have had an inclination to include sprinklers in a building previously (and there were not too many examples of that), the tightening of purse strings will almost certainly cause a dramatic rethink.
