Schools, academies, and colleges require covered access routes that can accommodate daily peak movement safely and efficiently. The Newcastle Duopitch is ideal where a broader roof span is needed, such as:
• Main circulation routes between teaching blocks
• Covered links from reception to shared facilities
• Walkways connecting sports halls, dining areas, and classrooms
• High-use pedestrian corridors across large sites
As a robust school walkway canopy, it supports safer movement during wet weather and improves comfort throughout the year.
Flexible Dimensions and Column Spacing
The Newcastle Duopitch can be tailored to suit existing surroundings, with adjustable:
• Width and height
• Column spacing
• Overall length for short links or extended covered routes
This ensures the canopy integrates effectively into constrained campus environments, while maintaining clear pedestrian flow.
Partially or Fully Enclosed Covered Walkways
For locations requiring additional shelter or security, the structure can be fitted with side panels and enclosure options, creating anything from a simple open walkway to a more protected route between buildings.
The Newcastle Duopitch is available with a choice of roof materials to balance durability, natural light, and architectural intent.
Options include:
• Opal or bronze roof cladding
• Polycarbonate covered walkway solutions for brighter internal routes
• Metal profile trapezoidal roof cladding for enhanced robustness
• Glazed roof cladding for a more architectural finish
Side and infill panel options include PETg UV or glazed panels, supporting a wide range of site requirements.
Where safeguarding and controlled access are priorities, the Newcastle Duopitch can be specified with additional security features, including:
• PVC roller blinds for weather screening
• Electric operated steel roller shutters
• Manual push-bar release fire doors
• Part-enclosed walkway configurations
These options make it suitable for schools seeking covered access that also supports site security.
To ensure long-term durability and visual consistency across education estates, the Newcastle Duopitch can be supplied with:
• Framework powder coated to any standard RAL colour
• UPVC or aluminium guttering and downpipes
• LED lighting or solar lighting for winter visibility
• Coloured vinyl transfers for wayfinding or branding
• Protective post pads for added safety in busy pupil areas
• Full installation service across the UK and Ireland
The Newcastle Duopitch walkway is often specified alongside other Broxap solutions to create a consistent campus environment. It can be paired with:
• Entrance canopies for school access points
• Cycle shelters and secure storage facilities
• Outdoor seating and social area furniture
• Bollards, bins, and wider street furniture ranges
This supports cohesive design across the full public realm package.
With its wider span, modular adaptability, and enclosure options, the Newcastle Duopitch is a dependable solution for covered walkways for schools. Designed for heavy pedestrian use, it delivers sheltered circulation routes that improve safety, comfort, and site usability throughout the year.
