Enhancing the new build and refurbishment of schools with best in class ICT solutions

Never before has ICT played such a vital role in teaching, learning and the life of a school or college. This is why it is so important to get the ICT infrastructure design and delivery right when a new school is built or a major refurbishment takes place.

At MSC IT Solutions we have a highly experienced team that focuses exclusively on the design, implementation and support of ICT infrastructure. We believe that any new build or refurbishment education project should also improve the quality of life for the staff and pupils who use those buildings.

In schools this means not only providing the passive and active network required to support the school’s data, and telephony systems; but also providing a solution which will be able to embrace future technology and enhance the user experience, enabling staff and pupils to remain connected via both school and personal devices on any part of the school site.

  • A team highly experienced in construction within the education sector, including years of experience in BSF, Free School and Priority Build (PBSP) programmes.
