Staffroom Renovation

The Teachers’ Staffroom should provide a comfortable and accessible environment where educators can watch television, read newspapers, engage in casual conversations, prepare for lectures, and enjoy tea. This space is not just a break room; it is a vital hub for collaboration, relaxation, and professional development among educators.

Upon my appointment as the principal of Government Boys Degree College, I quickly recognized that the Teachers’ Staffroom was not in an appealing condition. The atmosphere was uninspiring, and the facilities did not adequately support the needs of the teaching staff. Therefore, my initial step was to create a comfortable and inviting educational atmosphere for the teaching staff, and I successfully accomplished this within a few months. The staff room has undergone considerable enhancements aimed at improving both its functionality and visual appeal, transforming it into a space that educators can truly enjoy and utilize effectively.

To begin with, we installed fiber wall panels that not only offer a contemporary and stylish appearance but also enhance sound insulation and overall comfort. This upgrade has significantly improved the acoustics of the room, allowing for more private conversations and a quieter environment conducive to relaxation and focus. Additionally, new blinds have been fitted to provide better control over natural light and privacy within the area. These blinds allow staff to adjust the brightness according to their preferences, creating a more personalized and comfortable atmosphere.

Moreover, a cutting-edge 55-inch Android television has been introduced to the staff room. This television serves multiple purposes: it is a source of entertainment during breaks, a tool for presentations during meetings, and a platform for collaborative efforts among staff members.

The display board for the Staffroom was meticulously crafted using elegant golden steel letters, which were sourced from the vibrant city of Lahore, known for its rich craftsmanship and artistic heritage. The process of assembling the board was a collaborative effort, with invaluable assistance from D.P.E Hasan Abbas and Malhi Abdul Wahid, both of whom contributed their expertise and support to bring the vision to life. 

I took on the responsibility of personally handling the lighting for the display, ensuring that it would not only be functional but also aesthetically pleasing, creating an inviting atmosphere for all who enter the Staffroom. After completing the assembly and lighting, we carefully mounted the board on the wall of the Staffroom, a task that required precision and attention to detail.

The final result was a striking addition to the room, significantly enhancing its uniqueness and character. It has become a point of pride for our staff, as visitors frequently comment on the exceptional design and ambiance, often noting that no other staffroom is quite like it in the entire Sindh Province. This distinctive feature has not only set our Staffroom apart. Still, it has also fostered a sense of community and belonging among the staff, making it an extraordinary place to gather and collaborate.
