System IT Wins Carlisle Youth Zone Tender

System IT have recently been successful with their bid to supply and support the I.T. infastructure to the soon to be opened Carlisle Youth Zone.

Carlisle Youth Zone represents a modern, engaging, exciting and relevant take on the youth clubs of the past. It will be open to all young people aged 8-21 (and up to 25 for those with disabilities and/or learning difficulties) and will serve the social, recreational and emotional needs of young people of the area whenever their schools are closed.

The aim is to provide the Young People of Carlisle with:

• Somewhere to go
• Someone to talk to
• Something to do
• Somewhere to belong

Managing Director Alan Taggart says "This is a fantastic opportunity for System I.T. to be working on such a worthwhile project that will provide exciting and rewarding opportunities for the young people of Carlisle."

Trinity School Redevelopment Project

In 2009 System I T secured the tender to supply and install data cabling for the Trinity School Redevelopment Project. This work is part of a 16.7 million design and build contract for the redevelopment of the Trinity School in Carlisle, Cumbria. The contract incorporates both new build and extensive refurbishment of existing buildings. This four phase project began in February 2010 with the new build, and are due to commence with phase two in February 2011 when we will begin work inside the existing School buildings with phases three and four to follow.

Richard Rose Academy

In November 2010 System I.T. were chosen as the preferred local supplier to work with Northgate Services to carry out a deployment of 750 Computers to be installed in to the Academy ensuring that they would be up and running when the Academy was due to open on the 4th January 2011. A team of four trained and qualified engineers led by Andrew Gray were tasked with the deployment and worked long hours over the Christmas period to make sure those targets were met.

The new Richard Rose Central Academy is one of a pair, which sits alongside the Richard Rose Morton Academy as flagship educational establishments in Cumbria. It is a three storey building set in the beautiful Eastern side of Carlisle city centre surrounded by quality streetscapes and mature trees. The materiality choices for the new Academy denote the local vernacular; pale red sandstone and mixed red brickwork feature predominantly.
It is a crisp and compact design catering for 1500 students, on a tight urban site of 2.6 Hectares.
The proposed design replaces very dated and poorly maintained group of buildings. It is a compact design solution and will revitalise the site and offer a larger and more diverse range of activities, functionality and landscaping solutions.

Richard Rose Central Academy will provide wide ranging, modern, fit-for-purpose facilities which will revolutionise the way education is delivered, and give the student of Carlisle the best opportunities to earn available.
System I T is proud to be associated in working with Northgate Services in this deployment and is delighted that our knowledge and experience has helped provide the I.T. facilities and learning environment that will aid and assist education for students at the Richard Rose Academy in the years to come.
