Case Study: Cold Room Upgrade – Lockyer District State High School
Client: Programmed Property Services End User: Lockyer District State High School Location: Lockyer Valley, QLD Project Type: Cold Room Demolition & Replacement Duration: 2 Weeks (Variation Phase) Scope: Design and urgent re-specification of school tuckshop cold room
🎯 The Challenge
ACRO Refrigeration was engaged by Programmed Property Services to demolish and rebuild the existing tuckshop cold room at Lockyer District State High School. While the project was modest in size, it presented a unique challenge: significant last-minute changes requested by the school after installation was complete.
The original cold room had been built to specification, but the school requested three glass insert doors and internal shelving to be added for direct access and better storage visibility — requiring immediate attention to avoid delaying project handover.
Our Solution
Within hours of the variation being confirmed, our team:
Sourced and installed 3 high-quality custom built insert glass doors
Installed custom door heaters and lighting to meet compliance and usability standards
Procured and installed durable, matching shelving
Coordinated the electrical and refrigeration changes without disrupting other trades
Completed all modifications within 2 weeks, ensuring Programmed met their delivery deadline
On time, on budget, every time!
The Outcome
Despite the last-minute scope change, ACRO responded with urgency, flexibility, and technical precision. The variation was delivered on time, to spec, and without compromising quality — supporting our client’s reputation and the school’s operational needs.
