Lots of daylight introduced into the staff room at a school in Norfolk by two Solatubes has transformed this previously dreary space in a bright and attractive environment.

A windowless staff room in a Victorian school building has been transformed into a bright and attractive environment following the installation of two Solatube daylighting systems to replace flexible tubes that had been installed even though Solatube had been specified.
