Paint training centre upgrade

STL transformed an industrial paint training centre, installing a split spraybooth and interlinked training area to allow multiple sessions simultaneously. Hidden storage, brand-specific setups, and a future-ready mezzanine ensure flexibility and growth, giving the client a modern, functional facility that enhances both training outcomes and customer demonstrations.
Paint training centre upgrade

Project overview

The customer aimed to upgrade their industrial paint training centre to provide a more effective and flexible learning environment for their customers. The goal was to create a modern, purpose-built space that could accommodate multiple training sessions simultaneously while showcasing their products in a controlled, professional setting.

The challenge

The key requirement was a large split spraybooth capable of supporting either two training groups or a combination of training and product development activities at the same time.

Additional design considerations included:

  • Hidden storage cupboards with roller shutter doors to allow training on differently branded products for various market sectors

  • Space allocation for a future climatically controlled test spraybooth with tight control over temperature and humidity

  • Integration of the specialist test booth area without disrupting existing operations

The solution

A bespoke training spraybooth system was installed to meet all requirements:

  • One 12m x 6m x 3m side-extract, split down-draft spraybooth

  • Interlinked training room and paint mixing area to support simultaneous sessions

  • Mezzanine platform with access from existing high-level stairs, providing future-ready space for a climatically controlled test booth

STL addressed the challenges of future expansion and complex workflow by designing the mezzanine over the PMR, creating space for the specialist test booth without disrupting existing operations. Our approach ensured that the facility could accommodate multiple training formats, brand-specific product demonstrations, and future upgrades, all while maintaining a seamless operational flow.

Key features
  • Significantly upgraded training capability for the customer’s team

  • Ability to host simultaneous training sessions or combine training with product development

  • Concealed storage solutions for brand-specific training

  • Future-ready design accommodating a fully climatically controlled test spraybooth

  • Seamless integration with existing facility layout

Installation Highlights

The STL team took great pride in completing this prestigious project, delivering a solution that met all of the customer’s functional and aesthetic requirements. The facility now reflects a modern, professional standard in line with the customer’s industrial expertise.

The result

The upgraded training centre has allowed the customer to offer more courses with enhanced learning conditions, improving both client satisfaction and engagement.

Beyond operational benefits, the facility has become a powerful sales and marketing tool, demonstrating the customer’s commitment to quality, innovation, and client support. The customer is extremely proud of the space and continues to use it as a showcase for their products and capabilities.
