Project Focus PICKING A WINNER: THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR RACECOURSE HOTEL Total Contractor hears why Shackerley’s SureClad System was the perfect choice for the new hotel at Doncaster Racecourse. One of the oldest horse racing venues in the UK, Doncaster Racecourse hosts 36 race fixtures each year, is home to the William Hill St Leger Festival and provides a venue for all kinds of events and occasions, from concerts to conferences. The Racecourse’s packed year-round calendar means that high quality accommodation, corporate hospitality and events space close to the racecourse are always in high demand, making it an ideal location for development of the new Hilton Garden Inn. Designed by KKA Architecture, the eight-storey project features Shackerley’s SureClad ceramic granite ventilated façade system across all eight storeys; so what were the benefits of specifying the SureClad system and what buildability benefits did it offer the contractor? Below we hear 5 key points from this interesting project: Shackerley’s SureClad system was used at the new hotel on Doncaster Racecourse. 1. Specification of the Shackerley ventilated façade system took advantage of the variety available within the SureClad ceramic granite range, combining a natural cream finish with a distinctive grain with a highly-polished black ceramic granite that complements the curtainwalled elevation facing the racecourse and provides dramatic, elegant contrast. 2. The system has been used to deliver a contemporary, minimalist aesthetic, while providing materiality that creates an impression of natural stone, answering planning authority requirements by referencing local built environment context. As Alex Geddes from KKA Architecture commented: “The Shackerley ‘Lopar’ range of ceramic granite with its natural cream finish and subtle graining provides a fantastic alternative to natural stone, offering us the design flexibility to create strikingly different facades for the front, rear and side elevations.” 3. In addition to achieving the project’s aesthetic goals and creating the required impression of quality, the relatively lightweight SureClad ceramic granite system also provided an ideal response to the loading requirements for the building. The Racecourse elevation features a dark façade of curtain walling framed by cream ceramic granite and side elevations feature a long column clad in the cream-coloured SureClad ceramic granite to create the frame for the Racecourse elevation, giving the building a delicate appearance. 4. Halcyon, the cladding contractor, has its own design team so the company produced detailed installation plans and shared these with Shackerley who produced panels to the programme provided. Because the Queen’s Award Winning SureClad Access installation system enables non-sequential installation, the installation team was able to work around other activity on site, ensuring maximum flexibility and ease of buildability. 5. An exceptionally hard and durable material with excellent freeze-thaw resistance, Shackerley’s ceramic granite is impermeable, helping to ensure it does not degrade over time. Resistant to abrasion, algae, graffiti and UV light, ceramic granite is non-combustible to Class A1 in accordance with BS EN 13501-1.
