Britain’s educational sector is one<br />
of our most lucrative international<br />
assets, with new figures revealing<br />
that its exports overseas generate<br />
almost £20bn for the UK<br />
economy.<br />
However, in spite of this, a mere<br />
5% of the nearly 60,000 school<br />
buildings across the UK are<br />
operating efficiently and 1 in 5<br />
teachers state that they have<br />
actually considered quitting<br />
because of the wretched<br />
condition of the school buildings<br />
they work in.<br />
With political unrest and<br />
economic downturn on the cards,<br />
it is vital that as an industry we do<br />
everything in our power to ensure<br />
our stock of educational buildings<br />
is performing exactly as it should<br />
in order to harness every ounce<br />
of opportunity and come up<br />
trumps amidst such uncertainty.<br />
We cover all of this and more in<br />
this exciting new edition of <strong>School</strong><br />
<strong>Building</strong> Magazine, along with all<br />
of the latest product news, views<br />
and innovations throughout the<br />
sector that you, the specifier, need<br />

LATEST NEWS<br />
Plans to boost international student numbers and income<br />
A new ambition to increase the number of international students studying in the UK by more than 30% – helping boost the income<br />
generated by education exports to £35 billion – has been announced.<br />
Education Secretary Damian Hinds and International Trade Secretary Liam Fox have published a brand new International Education Strategy<br />
to cement Britain’s leading role in the global market as it prepares to leave the EU and maximise the benefits to both the UK and students<br />
from around the world.<br />
The UK currently hosts around 460,000 international higher education students and the education sector generates approximately £20<br />
billion per year through education exports and transnational activity, which includes income from international students, English language<br />
training, education providers setting up sites overseas, and education technology solutions being sold worldwide.<br />
The strategy sets out an ambition to grow the total number of international students during the year to 600,000 and generate £35 billion<br />
through education exports by 2030 – a rise of 75%. The plans focus on not only retaining existing markets such as Europe, but raising the<br />
profile of the education sector in global markets such as Asia, Africa and Latin America.<br />
International Trade Secretary Dr Liam Fox MP said “There is clear demand across the globe for the UK’s world-class education offer.<br />
“Our education exports are ripe for growth, and my international economic department stands ready to engage and support UK providers<br />
from across the education sector to grow their global activity as we implement this new International Education Strategy.”<br />
Mayor unveils plans to get more children<br />
into early years education<br />
Two bold new initiatives to improve access to early education<br />
services for London’s children were launched yesterday at the<br />
Mayor’s Early Years Conference.<br />
Currently almost a third of eligible families are missing out on<br />
free early education for their two-year-olds, with only 61% of<br />
eligible two-year-olds in London in free early years education,<br />
compared to 72% across England.<br />
The figures, published in the Mayor’s Early Years in London<br />
report, also showed a huge disparity across the capital’s local<br />
authorities - with Sutton exceeding its allocation of free early<br />
education spaces for 2-year-olds, but just 47% of places in Tower<br />
Hamlets taken up.<br />
The Mayor’s London Early Years campaign aims to tackle this<br />
problem by providing grants of between £8,000 and £15,000 to 11<br />
organisations who are running projects to boost awareness. This<br />
includes Family Lives in Westminster which is helping more than<br />
400 low-income families with complex needs, South London<br />
Tamil Welfare Group which is helping the borough’s Tamil<br />
households, and Minki Kardes Ltd, which is helping Turkish and<br />
Kurdish speaking families in Hackney.<br />
Alongside this, the Mayor has provided £250,000 for a new Early<br />
Years Leaders programme designed to support nurseries,<br />
playgroups and childminders in improving their leadership,<br />
management and business skills.<br />
Construction productivity boost could<br />
provide £100bn to UK every year<br />
The scale of construction’s productivity gap has been laid bare in<br />
the a research report from Mace, which shows that the UK is<br />
missing out on more than £100bn of annual economic activity.<br />
Mace’s research report, ‘The Size of the Prize’, compares the<br />
construction sector and the manufacturing sector in the UK.<br />
Manufacturing has seen steady productivity growth over the last<br />
twenty years, allowing the sector to deliver more economic<br />
growth with the same or fewer number of workers.<br />
Conversely, the UK construction sector has seen productivity flat<br />
line for the past twenty years, limiting growth and denying the<br />
UK more than £100bn a year of economic benefit.<br />
Mace’s figures show that – had construction kept pace with the<br />
productivity gains in manufacturing – the UK would see:<br />
• An approximate 3% increase in the UK’s overall Gross Domestic<br />
Product (GDP).<br />
• Each construction worker producing £38 an hour of economic<br />
activity, compared to £25.50.<br />
• The capacity to deliver the £600bn national infrastructure<br />
pipeline in four years, rather than six.<br />
The tax generated by an additional £100bn of annual economic<br />
activity would produce an extra £40bn a year for the<br />
Government, enough to eliminate next year’s budget deficit,<br />
based on the <strong>Spring</strong> Budget forecast from 2017.<br />
Universities asked to do more to support care leavers<br />
Ministers set out the need for a ‘culture change’ at universities to encourage more care leavers to stay in higher education.<br />
Universities across the country are being called on to do more for young people leaving care by giving them personal support, helping<br />
them pay for accommodation and providing money to buy books and join social clubs.<br />
Currently just 6% of care leavers aged 19-21 go into higher education, and those that do are nearly twice as likely to drop out than their<br />
peers.<br />
The new Higher Education Principles set out how universities should do more for young people leaving care by providing them with<br />
personal support through buddy systems as well as giving them money for course materials and to fully experience student life.<br />
Children and Families Minister Nadhim Zahawi said “Far too many young people leaving care are missing out on opportunities that their<br />
peers take for granted. Many universities are already improving their offers to care leavers, through our Care Leaver Covenant and beyond,<br />
but I want this to become the norm – not the exception.”<br />

Offshore wind energy could provide a third of all UK electricity by 2030<br />
Clean, green offshore wind is set to power more than 30% of British electricity by 2030, Energy and Clean Growth Minister Claire Perry has<br />
announced with the launch of the new joint government-industry Offshore Wind Sector Deal.<br />
This deal will mean for the first time in UK history there will be more electricity from renewables than fossil fuels, with 70% of British electricity<br />
predicted to be from low carbon sources by 2030 and over £40 billion of infrastructure investment in the UK. This is the tenth Sector Deal from<br />
the modern Industrial Strategy signed by Business Secretary Greg Clark. It is backed by UK renewables companies and marks a revolution in<br />
the offshore wind industry, which 20 years ago was only in its infancy. It could see the number of jobs triple to 27,000 by 2030.<br />
Claire Perry, Energy & Clean Growth Minister said “This new Sector Deal will drive a surge in the clean, green offshore wind revolution that<br />
is powering homes and businesses across the UK, bringing investment into coastal communities and ensuring we maintain our position as<br />
global leaders in this growing sector.<br />
“By 2030 a third of our electricity will come from offshore wind, generating thousands of high-quality jobs across the UK, a strong UK<br />
supply chain and a fivefold increase in exports. This is our modern Industrial Strategy in action.”<br />
Increase in Apprenticeships Funding<br />
The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) have<br />
announced a major boost in funding to help employers<br />
take on construction apprentices.<br />
From 1 April, CITB’s attendance grants to employers will<br />
increase to £2,500 per year, while achievement grants<br />
will rise to £3,500 for companies whose apprentice<br />
successfully completes their training.<br />
This is an overall funding increase from £10,250 to<br />
£14,500 for each apprentice an employer takes on – an<br />
uplift of over 30% on existing rates.<br />
CITB has decided to increase employer funding at a time<br />
when construction apprenticeships are falling. This is<br />
due to factors such as economic uncertainty caused by<br />
Brexit and employers adjusting to new apprenticeship<br />
reforms, including the Apprenticeship Levy.<br />
But construction needs many more learners not only<br />
starting, but completing their apprenticeships and<br />
joining the workforce. CITB’s forecast shows the industry<br />
needs to fill some 168,500 new jobs over the next five<br />
years, and to grow much more of its own domestic<br />
workforce, given likely limits on future access to migrant<br />
workers.<br />
More of us would rather our children did an<br />
apprenticeship than a degree<br />
More parents in the UK want to see their child undertake an<br />
apprenticeship than a university degree, according to new research by<br />
the Federation of Master Builders.<br />
The FMB undertook a survey of 2,000 adults and the findings were as<br />
follows:<br />
•25% of us would rather our children undertook an apprenticeship;<br />
• 24% of us would rather our children studied for a university degree; and<br />
• 50% of us have no preference.<br />
They also asked the same people how they felt about building firms that<br />
trained apprentices and found that:<br />
• 60% would have a more positive image of a construction firm knowing<br />
that it trains apprentices;<br />
• 41% would be more likely to hire a building firm that trains apprentices<br />
as opposed to one that does not.<br />
Brian Berry, Chief Executive of the Federation of Master Builders (FMB),<br />
said “We’re finally seeing the shift in attitudes with more people<br />
understanding the value of undertaking a vocational apprenticeship<br />
rather than a university degree.<br />
New leader board to celebrate top apprenticeship employers<br />
Top employers who are helping to lead the ‘apprenticeship revolution’, get more people into skilled jobs and boost British business will be<br />
celebrated through a new leader board and quality mark, Education Secretary Damian Hinds has announced.<br />
Apprenticeships are now longer, higher-quality, with more off-the-job training and a more rigorous assessment at the end. There are now<br />
more than 400 apprenticeship standards available in everything from accountancy, fashion and law to teaching, nursing and plumbing.<br />
Education Secretary Damian Hinds said “We’ve transformed apprenticeships in this country. But that wouldn’t have been possible without<br />
the employers who have been at the forefront of developing new high- quality apprenticeship opportunities that provide great training, and<br />
the employers who have embraced the huge benefits apprenticeships are bringing to their workplaces. “I want to celebrate their<br />
contribution - giving thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds the opportunity to learn new skills and secure an exciting career.”<br />
More than 100 rural schools to get gigabit speed broadband<br />
More than 100 rural primary schools across England are set to get gigabit-capable broadband connections within the next few months as<br />
part of the Government’s commitment to improve internet infrastructure in rural areas.<br />
Under the £3 million pilot programme, 3 schools have already been connected, and 52 have signed contracts with work expected to be<br />
completed in the coming weeks. There are also ongoing discussions with another 72 schools who are interested in participating. The<br />
trial was originally planned to reach 100 schools, but the project has been delivered under-budget, allowing even more schools to<br />
benefit.<br />
These new speeds are enabling whole classes to simultaneously surf the internet on tablets as part of structured lessons, and gives<br />
schools easier access to online training and educational learning. Access to cloud services not only means savings as staff go paperless,<br />
but it has also enabled the decommissioning of the school’s local servers to reduce hardware, maintenance and IT support costs.<br />

Technal brands help build business school<br />
at Oxstalls campus<br />
2018 has seen the completion of the Business <strong>School</strong> and Growth Hub’s new flagship building on the University of<br />
Gloucestershire’s Oxstalls Campus, close to Gloucester’s city centre, where the project team has made expressive use of Technal<br />
fenestration systems including MX curtain walling.<br />
This latest addition to the campus has<br />
been constructed by sector specialist,<br />
Willmott Dixon while Austin-<br />
Smith:Lord LLP was the architectural<br />
practice leading the design team. Vision<br />
2000 is the Cwmbran based fabricator<br />
which manufactured and installed the<br />
package of Technal systems that also<br />
includes Technal doors and windows.<br />
The new extension to the state-of-the-art<br />
Oxstalls campus represents a £16 million<br />
development that accommodates the<br />
University of Gloucestershire's Business,<br />
Marketing, Human Resource Management,<br />
Law and Accounting and Finance courses as<br />
well as University in Business and GFirst LEP.<br />
The Project Architect for Austin-Smith:Lord,<br />
Neil Farquhar, comments: “The University of<br />
Gloucestershire always wanted the new<br />
Business <strong>School</strong> building to be a showcase<br />
for the campus: with an efficient compact<br />
form of three storeys that has been<br />
developed to maximise its location; signalling<br />
its presence from the moment of arrival on<br />
the campus. As a result of which we worked<br />
to express a range of features on the main<br />
elevations. This involved not just the<br />
treatment of the main entrance, but also<br />
views of other areas.<br />
“A triple height atrium forms a central multifunctional<br />
gathering space, which is light<br />
filled and has a high degree of transparency,<br />
aiding inter-connectivity and<br />
<strong>School</strong> of Business &<br />
Technology, Gloucester<br />
communication. The atrium links the key<br />
spaces of the building including the<br />
reception, external terrace and cafe, and is<br />
given further activity and interest through the<br />
feature stair and Lynn Chadwick sculptures.”<br />
For the atrium Vision 2000 employed the MX<br />
Roof System to create four large rooflights –<br />
the biggest of which is eight metres square –<br />
covering a total area of 140m2.<br />
The building also features lines of clerestory<br />
windows atop each elevation, executed using<br />
the Technal FY65 system, providing a number<br />
of opening lights for natural ventilation. The<br />
overall U-value achieved is 1.52 W/m2 K.<br />
The first and second floor windows, totalling<br />
almost 300 m2, were also fabricated using<br />
the FY65 system and are coupled together<br />
using a special structural mullion section.<br />
This carries a special feature cap and<br />
supports solar shading.<br />
The curtain wall screens at first and second<br />
floor level were fabricated using MX Capped<br />
and again carry solar shading, while a 12<br />
metre by three-metre-tall run of feature<br />
screens were supplied in MX Toggle.<br />
The ground floor curtain walling again uses<br />
MX Capped, with PY and CD doors as well as<br />
FY65 windows inset. There are six pairs of<br />
doors set within the curtain walling, plus two<br />
sets of automatic sliding doors to provide EA<br />
compliance.<br />
While all of the frames are finished in a RAL<br />
7016 Dark Grey Matt, the glazing throughout<br />
features Pilkington Suncool 50/25 glass for<br />
the south, east and west elevations. The<br />
specification for the north side switches to<br />
Pilkington 66/33 glass. Also around the<br />
ground floor, the IG units contain a<br />
toughened laminated inner pane for safety.<br />
Technal’s MX suite of curtain walling profiles<br />
offers contractors and consultants the widest<br />
set of technical and practical benefits, as well<br />
as providing an aesthetic and very durable<br />
solution for a variety of project types. The<br />
system has been tested to provide excellent<br />
wind and weather resistance - as well as<br />
thermal performance beyond the<br />
requirements of the <strong>Building</strong> Regulations;<br />
while enabling specifiers to maintain<br />
consistent sightlines across complex<br />
elevations.<br />
Simon Hagain, who co-founded Vision 2000<br />
with Godfrey Meese, reflected on the<br />
relationship with Hydro/Technal: “We have<br />
been using the Technal brand since we<br />
established the company 18 years ago, and<br />
had already completed the Hay-on-Wye and<br />
Llangorse schools for Willmott Dixon prior to<br />
tendering for the Oxstalls Campus contract.<br />
In fact, we do a lot of education as well as<br />
commercial, large scale residential and<br />
hospital projects across Wales, the Southwest<br />
and the M4 corridor using Technal<br />
systems.”<br />
Technal is part of the Hydro Group, a world<br />
leader in aluminium solutions that also<br />
encompasses sister brands Sapa and<br />
WICONA. Through its globally renowned<br />
Hydro Technology Hubs, the group is shaping<br />
a sustainable future, with innovative products<br />
that satisfy and surpass customer<br />
expectations, in line with demands of CSR<br />
and increasing environmental regulations.<br />
The Oxstalls project is being delivered to BIM<br />
Level 2 and is set to achieve a BREEAM<br />
Excellent rating, through use of a number of<br />
measures. The ultimate recyclability of<br />
aluminium fenestration systems and the<br />
creation of natural ventilation within a highly<br />
insulated envelope, and heat recovery all<br />
contribute to this score.<br />

Low NOx, one-person lift, high-performance<br />
continuous flow hot water heating<br />
Rinnai’s Infinity range of 11i,17i &17e<br />
ErP A-rated continuous flow gas<br />
fired water heaters are specifically<br />
designed for low NOx<br />
domestic/light commercial use and<br />
guarantee the highest efficiencies<br />
and lowest running costs at<br />
consistently accurate temperatures<br />
24/7 compared with any other<br />
method of hot water delivery.<br />
The Rinnai Infinity range of<br />
continuous flow – sometimes<br />
referred to as ‘multi-point’ - water<br />
heating units are being specified<br />
and installed for<br />
domestic/residential sites including:<br />
cafes, pubs, restaurants, offices, shops, hairdressers, commercial units,<br />
caravan parks and leisure facilities as installers and end users become<br />
increasingly aware of their energy saving benefits.<br />
The increase in uptake is because Rinnai’s low NOx continuous flow<br />
heater systems are proven to be more energy efficient than storage<br />
systems and as such are becoming the experts’ preferred method of<br />
hot water provision. The word is out that the Rinnai units easily cater<br />
for projects that need high volumes of water at intermittent times of<br />
day delivered at accurate temperatures to ensure user comfort and<br />
safety. They are also easy to operate and simple to install and maintain.<br />
Plus, they are all low NOx satisfying the Eco-design regulation.<br />

Midland’s school maximises teaching space<br />
Working directly with St. Jude’s Academy in Wolverhampton, leading<br />
operable wall specialist Style was asked to install a moveable wall to<br />
separate a dual-purpose classroom. Dramatically improving the use<br />
of space, the new sliding partitioning system allows teachers the<br />
flexibility to quickly reconfigure the classroom from a single large<br />
teaching/activity space into two smaller classrooms that can operate<br />
side-by-side.<br />
Following the<br />
installation, Style<br />
was also appointed<br />
as the servicing<br />
and repair agent<br />
for this and five<br />
other moveable<br />
walls within the<br />
school. Routine<br />
servicing will<br />
protect the school’s<br />
investment by<br />
ensuring the<br />
continued smooth<br />
and safe operation<br />
of each wall, therefore extending their lifespan.<br />
St Jude’s’ Academy offers a positive and inclusive environment<br />
where diversity is valued. It is a school that stimulates every child for<br />
learning so that they will achieve their full potential in an<br />
atmosphere of mutual respect and trust.<br />

Hunter Douglas HeartFelt ® ceiling creates<br />
continuity at Girlguiding activity centre<br />
A Girlguiding activity<br />
centre in Cheshire had<br />
Hunter Douglas<br />
Architectural’s innovative<br />
felt ceiling installed in the<br />
second development<br />
phase after the architect<br />
was so impressed with its<br />
performance in the first<br />
building.<br />
John Piercy Holroyd,<br />
Associate Director of<br />
Walker Simpson<br />
Architects, had specified<br />
Heartfelt ® in the first building at Pettypool, which was commissioned<br />
by Girlguiding Cheshire Forest.<br />
When the second phase was under construction, Heartfelt ® was<br />
specified again for the common areas of the bedroom block, instead of<br />
gypsum plank, which had been originally earmarked, because of its<br />
superior acoustic performance and aesthetic qualities.<br />
“It helped us to transform the idea of what is basically a circulation<br />
space to somewhere that feels quite special. It raised the profile of how<br />
that area would feel,” said John.<br />
The architect developed new graphics and colourways on the flooring<br />
to complement the 35m 2 of Heartfelt ceiling in ‘Off-white’ (7595), ‘Light<br />
Grey’ (7596), ‘Middle Grey’ (7597), and also adapted the lighting system<br />
so that it better complemented the first phase.<br />

• Over 90% of teachers believe well-built and<br />
designed schools improve educational<br />
outcomes and pupil behaviour<br />
• Over-engineered schools, with<br />
Government-specified equipment that only<br />
costly consultants know how to operate, is<br />
costing £150 million per year which could<br />
have been avoided if schools were designed<br />
better<br />
These findings are taken directly from the<br />
report on the state of school buildings in the<br />
UK, published by the Royal Institute of British<br />
Architects (RIBA). Using the largest ever<br />
analysis of primary and secondary school<br />
buildings in the UK, a nation-wide poll of<br />
teachers, and extensive engagement with<br />
school buildings experts, RIBA’s Better Spaces<br />
for Learning report makes the case for an<br />
urgent review of the Government’s Education<br />
Funding Agency’s current school building<br />
programme.<br />
The report emphasises the importance of<br />
well-designed school buildings on young<br />
people’s wellbeing, behaviour engagement<br />
and crucially, attainment.<br />
RIBA has identified that good school design<br />
can reduce running and maintenance costs,<br />
in some cases by more than several times a<br />
teacher’s average salary a year; it could have<br />
prevented the English school estate from<br />
spending upwards of £150m annually on<br />
unnecessary operation and maintenance<br />
costs.<br />
This all comes as further insight into the<br />
Government’s own assertion that just 5% of<br />
the nearly 60,000 school buildings across the<br />
UK are performing as intended and operating<br />
efficiently. The prevalence of damp, leaky<br />
classrooms and asbestos-ridden buildings in<br />
British schools means too many pupils and<br />
teachers are struggling to learn and teach in<br />
conditions damaging to their health and<br />
education.<br />
‘Better Spaces for<br />
Learning’ also<br />
revealed that the<br />
Government’s current<br />
programme of<br />
building new schools<br />
is inefficient – with a<br />
lack of flexibility to<br />
make the best<br />
possible use of<br />
resources, and little<br />
opportunity for<br />
school staff to input<br />
into the design of<br />
their own new<br />
Dilapidated huts at Eltham school can't be demolished<br />
because they have been classed as 'historically significant'<br />
buildings. RIBA believes that the Government<br />
programme must be improved to guarantee<br />
better outcomes for our public money.<br />
Architect and former RIBA President Jane<br />
Duncan said “This country is in the grip of the<br />
worst shortage of school places in living<br />
memory. This report highlights the vital<br />
importance of school design and how it<br />
affects the general health and wellbeing of<br />
their users, our children and their teachers. As<br />
limited funding is available to deal with the<br />
growing problem, every penny spent on<br />
schools must deliver maximum value for<br />
money. Award winning well-designed,<br />
successful schools with happy pupils and<br />
productive staff like Burntwood <strong>School</strong> in<br />
London shouldn’t be the exception, they<br />
should be the standard.<br />
“How can we expect our children to compete<br />
with the world’s best when too many of our<br />
school buildings are substandard?<br />
Educational improvements resulting from the<br />
current programme of school building are<br />
not reaching the basic standards that British<br />
taxpayers and our economy expects. We<br />
need to do better for all of our children and<br />
their hardworking teachers. We urge the<br />
Government to review its programme of<br />
building new schools.”<br />

Exterior <strong>Building</strong> Envelope<br />
EQUITONE specified for school sports pavilion<br />
EQUITONE [linea] fibre cement facade material has created a durable, low maintenance exterior for a brand-new sports<br />
pavilion in Edinburgh.<br />
The facility at St George's <strong>School</strong> for<br />
Girls – the city’s only all-girls school –<br />
has been given a crisp aesthetic by<br />
the EQUITONE facade, which displays a<br />
linear surface that highlights the raw inner<br />
texture of the core fibre cement material.<br />
The new build facility was designed by local<br />
architects DRD Architects and is one of the<br />
first projects in Scotland to use EQUITONE<br />
[linea] on this scale.<br />
Joanna Smith, architect at DRD Architects,<br />
said: “Due to the building’s location beside<br />
sports pitches, we wanted a high-quality<br />
material that was durable and able to<br />
withstand all weathers. The school was also<br />
very keen on a finish on the building that was<br />
as low-maintenance as possible.<br />
“These factors led to us choosing EQUITONE<br />
for the facade, and we chose EQUITONE<br />
[linea] as we particularly liked the way we<br />
could create light and shadow on the facade<br />
by rotating the boards in different<br />
orientations, allowing the texture of each one<br />
to create different light patterns.”<br />
The project used approximately 340m 2 of<br />
EQUITONE [linea], and incorporates new<br />
changing facilities, ancillary accommodation,<br />
and a multifunction<br />
meeting<br />
and conference<br />
facility.<br />
Joanna added: “The<br />
overall look of the<br />
facade is very<br />
uniform and<br />
precise, yet the<br />
patterns the boards<br />
form when the light<br />
shines on them make each elevation look<br />
different and visually interesting. The quality<br />
of the material is high and it looks great on<br />
the building. Overall, we think the look of the<br />
material has been successful and its durability<br />
will also bring a key added benefit.”<br />
EQUITONE [linea] is a unique 3D shaped,<br />
through-coloured facade material that plays<br />
with light and shadow, has a life expectancy<br />
of at least 50 years, and a fire classification of<br />
A2-s1, d0. All EQUITONE materials are<br />
available in a range of colours, finishes and<br />
fixing options, giving full creative scope.<br />
Other recent EQUITONE projects:<br />
Harrogate Grammar <strong>School</strong><br />
The former 1950s science block at Harrogate<br />
Grammar <strong>School</strong>, in North Yorkshire, was<br />
rebuilt using EQUITONE [natura] in colour<br />
Anthracite.<br />
Richard Berry, architect at Bowman Riley<br />
Architects, who specified the material, said:<br />
“The client was looking for an impactful,<br />
statement building that would help<br />
regenerate an underused internal courtyard<br />
area at a pivotal location within the school.<br />
The natural and soft texture of EQUITONE<br />
[natura] responds well to the 1930s red brick<br />
buildings in the surrounding courtyard,<br />
providing a contemporary and modern<br />
approach.”<br />
University of Hull<br />
The £30 million Courtyard, which provides<br />
purpose-built housing for 600 students at the<br />
University of Hull’s Cottingham Road campus,<br />
used 6,500m 2 of EQUITONE [tectiva] fibre<br />
cement facade material.<br />
Steve Elwen, chartered architect at<br />
GSSArchitecture, said: “For this project, we<br />
were inspired by minimal and subtle<br />
Scandinavian design, which is popular for<br />
educational projects due to it being modern<br />
and on-trend, and EQUITONE [tectiva]<br />
created this aesthetic perfectly as it has a<br />
range of elegant and natural shades.<br />
“The buildings are laid out in a zig zag<br />
pattern, allowing them to make the most of<br />
natural sunlight. We used more of EQUITONE<br />
[tectiva] in colour Chalk, which is lighter in<br />
shade than the two other panels, to brighten<br />
up the courtyard area, making it a more<br />
pleasant area to be in.”<br />

BMI Redland and BMI Icopal combine to<br />
deliver a thief-proof roof<br />
Sympathetic<br />
locally-sourced<br />
materials, technical<br />
expertise and<br />
market-leading<br />
guarantees led Vale<br />
of Glamorgan<br />
Council to choose<br />
BMI Redland and<br />
BMI Icopal<br />
materials when reroofing<br />
an early<br />
20th century<br />
primary school.<br />
“We chose BMI<br />
because it could offer us 15-year guarantees on the products; the roof<br />
slate was made from locally-sourced materials and because the pitched<br />
and flat products could work in conjunction on the details,” says Paul<br />
Hynam, Consultant <strong>Building</strong> Surveyor to the project.<br />
For the pitched roof the solution was BMI Redland Cambrian Slate, an<br />
interlocking slate manufactured from recycled waste slate in nearby<br />
Merthyr Tydfil, a dry-fix system to cut down maintenance, and fixings on<br />
the ridge and hip system to mimic the previous roof.<br />
The school’s roof now provides the Vale of Glamorgan Council and<br />
school the security and reliability it needs – with guarantees it can rely<br />
on of up to 20 years, quality products specified and installed, a pitched<br />
and flat roof that collaborate on the details and locally-sourced materials.<br />
Sounds like a winning combination!<br />

Historic Yale buildings renovated<br />
with Crittall<br />
Crittall steel windows have been specified for a major<br />
renovation and upgrade at the heart of Yale University’s New<br />
Haven Campus in Connecticut, USA.<br />
The Ivy League university’s former Hall of Graduate Studies is<br />
to become a new Center for the Humanities bringing<br />
together in one central location some 16 hitherto disparate<br />
departments to create greater scope for collaborative working<br />
among students and scholars.<br />
The buildings, originally constructed between 1930 and 1932 in a<br />
Collegiate Gothic style characteristic of Yale, were designed by<br />
architect James Gamble Rogers. They enclose two courtyards with, as their centrepiece a 14-storey tower.<br />
Crittall was contracted to replace the windows in the tower and Berkeley profiles were specified including both windows and doors.<br />
It had been the intention of Boston-based architects AnnBeha to retain and refurbish the original windows in the other buildings facing<br />
onto the quadrangle, but it was later decided that it would be more cost-affective to replace them altogether and Crittall’s Berkeley profiles<br />
were again selected for this task.<br />
The windows specified are dual- rather then double-glazed. The outer pane for the Yale contract is a leaded glass panel chosen to replicate<br />
the original appearance of the neo-gothic elevations. This is then backed by an inner, standard pane in order to improve weathertightness<br />
and thermal performance.<br />
In total, Crittall will supply windows for more than 2,700 openings on the site.<br />
“We are delighted to become involved once more with a Yale development that blends state-of-the-art education facilities with the historic<br />
character of this seat of learning,” said Crittall Managing Director, Russell Agar.<br />
This is latest Yale contract for Crittall, one of the world’s leading designers and manufacturers of steel windows and doors. In 2017 Crittall<br />
supplied the fenestration for two new residential colleges built on a seven-acre site at New Haven.<br />

First class primary project for Thornton<br />
Specialist roofing and cladding<br />
company, Thornton Roofing recently<br />
completed Broomlands Primary<br />
<strong>School</strong> in Scotland. As unique as it is<br />
innovative the project included the<br />
installation of a standing seam<br />
multi-peak roofing system; with<br />
feature flashing, fascia and<br />
associated gutters.<br />
The Antrim-based company was<br />
tasked with building a state-of-theart<br />
roofing structure, spanning an<br />
impressive 2800m2. To ensure the<br />
structure had exceptional weather<br />
resistance and durability to<br />
withstand the elements, Thornton<br />
Roofing employed the use of Omnis’ state-of-the-art Ziplok system.<br />
Additionally, perforated liner sheets with acoustic slabs were used in<br />
the construction to control the school’s acoustics. The innovative liner<br />
sheets not only improve the acoustic performance of the new school’s<br />
gymnasium, but also ensure other classes and local residents are not<br />
disturbed by increasing noise levels.<br />
The new roofing design is not only functional, but also proves to be<br />
aesthetically impressive. The design includes 45° pitches, ensuring the<br />
innovative construction was not just structurally outstanding, but<br />
aesthetically impressive.<br />

Flat roof specialist<br />
Byford Roofing<br />
tackled the job<br />
knowing that the<br />
installation was<br />
complex and demanding but also that the schedule was tight.<br />
Byford chose BMI Icopal’s Parabit Holt Melt Duo that it applied to the<br />
concrete deck of the roof. Over that went a layer of inverted<br />
insulation and paving slabs ready to receive the MUGA pitch finish. “I<br />
chose Parabit because it’s a system we know well, we’re comfortable<br />
laying it and therefore it gave us confidence in achieving the target<br />
programme completion date. Not only is it suitable for a zero falls<br />
roof, it is also very robust,” explained Andrew Byford, Director at<br />
Byford Roofing.<br />
“Working with materials that we trust such as BMI Icopal Parabit Hot<br />
Melt Duo, helped us achieve a really satisfying outcome.”<br />

Schöck meets steel frame challenge at<br />
Oxford Brookes University<br />
Oxford Brookes University is one of the UK's top modern<br />
universities. Significant investment has resulted in multi awardwinning<br />
facilities and this is continuing with a ten-year, £220<br />
million estate investment plan.<br />
One recently completed facility has seen the former Main Hall<br />
demolished and replaced with the Sir Kenneth Wheare Hall, designed<br />
by BGS Architects. It is a tribute to one of the University’s most<br />
influential figures and creates multi-use space for teaching and other<br />
university events, including graduation ceremonies.<br />
Steel frame and cladding mean high thermal conductivity<br />
Steel has a very high thermal conductivity and the structural steel frame and steel cladding system are designed to minimise unwanted<br />
heat flows. With the new hall, support for the external cladding was provided by cantilever connections to the universal columns and it<br />
was critical to provide a structural thermal break at strategic connectivity points. The Schöck Isokorb for steel-to-steel connectivity was<br />
the ideal solution. By thermally separating the exterior steel<br />
structure from the interior steel structure, these modular thermal<br />
insulation elements reliably mitigate the risk of condensation,<br />
mould formation and corrosion. The units withstand extremely<br />
demanding loads and are effective against both bending moment<br />
and shear force. The Isokorb used at Oxford Brookes is for steelto-steel,<br />
but the comprehensive Isokorb range from Schöck offers<br />
solutions for concrete-to-concrete, concrete-to-steel and – and<br />
even a maintenance free alternative to wrapped parapets.<br />
Products meet full compliance with the relevant UK building<br />
regulations, have NHBC approval and offer LABC Registration.<br />
There is also the security of independent BBA Certification.<br />

Kingspan Kooltherm K100 range boards have a<br />
thermal conductivity of just 0.018 W/m·K, allowing<br />
desired U-values to be met with slim constructions.<br />
Creating comfortable schools<br />
Last August, the Education and Skills Funding Agency published a revised version of <strong>Building</strong> Bulletin 101 (BB101) Guidelines on<br />
ventilation, thermal comfort and indoor air quality in schools. In addition to summarising relevant regulations and standards, the<br />
document also provides best practice guidance on how these issues should be addressed within school design.<br />
One of the most notable changes<br />
within the document is a new<br />
adaptive approach to how thermal<br />
comfort is measured and addressed.<br />
Measuring Thermal Comfort<br />
Thermal comfort is defined as when a person<br />
feels neither too hot nor too cold. It is<br />
affected not only by environmental factors<br />
such as the air temperature, but also personal<br />
factors such as clothing and health. As a<br />
result, within any given space their can be a<br />
wide divergence in opinion on where it is hot,<br />
cold or just right. To estimate the thermal<br />
comfort of all students and staff, BB101 uses a<br />
version of the adaptive thermal comfort<br />
standards within BS EN ISO 7730:2005 –<br />
Ergonomics of the thermal environment.<br />
BB101 uses two indices to estimate thermal<br />
comfort: predicted mean vote (PMV) and<br />
percentage people dissatisfied (PPD). PMV<br />
considers a number of personal and<br />
environmental factors to generate a score on<br />
a seven-point comfort scale (from hot +3 to<br />
cold -3). The PPD is then calculated from this<br />
score with the percentage of people<br />
dissatisfied exponentially increasing as PMV<br />
moves away from 0.<br />
BB101 provides a list of recommended<br />
operative temperatures for different spaces<br />
within a school during the heating season.<br />
Outside of this period, it uses an adaptive<br />
approach, changing the maximum indoor<br />
temperature from day-to-day based on<br />
external temperatures.<br />
Identifying Solutions<br />
The most suitable solutions for maintaining<br />
thermal comfort will depend on the particular<br />
design of the building. Dynamic thermal<br />
modelling can be used to assist designers and<br />
engineers, allowing them to:<br />
• predict internal comfort conditions;<br />
• dentify the likelihood of overheating during<br />
summer months;<br />
• establish likely heating demands; and<br />
• maximise available natural light via daylight<br />
calculations.<br />
BB101 also suggests the use of night purge<br />
strategies, where air is introduced through<br />
windows and vents during the night, helping<br />
to efficiently cool the building .<br />
<strong>Building</strong> Insulation<br />
Whatever approach is taken, the building<br />
fabric will play an important role in allowing<br />
internal temperatures to be maintained at a<br />
constant level. With section 4.15 of BB101<br />
highlighting the need to future-proof spaces,<br />
it makes sense to look beyond the standard<br />
U-value requirements outlined in the<br />
Approved Documents to the <strong>Building</strong><br />
Regulations 2013 (in England), 2014 (in<br />
Wales), and Section 6 (Energy) 2015 of the<br />
<strong>Building</strong> Standards in Scotland.<br />
With a wide range of insulation options<br />
available, it’s important to carefully consider<br />
which solution is most suitable for any given<br />
project. The latest generation of phenolic<br />
insulation products have a thermal<br />
conductivity of just 0.018 W/m·K, the lowest<br />
of any commonly used insulation products.<br />
This can allow desired U-values to be met<br />
with slimmer floor, wall or pitched roof<br />
constructions.<br />
Vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) are also<br />
proving increasingly popular for<br />
refurbishment applications. The panels have<br />
an insulating performance up to five times<br />
better than commonly used insulation<br />
materials making them ideally suited for<br />
applications where the construction depth<br />
must be kept to an absolute minimum – such<br />
as above an existing solid floor.<br />
Design Clarity<br />
With projections suggesting summer<br />
heatwaves, such as those we experienced last<br />
year, are likely to become the norm within<br />
the next two decades as a result of climate<br />
change , it is key that our schools are<br />
designed to manage both summer heat and<br />
winter chills. The adaptive approach outlined<br />
within BB101 offers a sensible route to<br />
designing and constructing schools which<br />
provide comfortable environments for staff<br />
and students.<br />

school has created an exemplar learning environment for local<br />
children, reflecting the academy’s vision and ethos, increasing parental<br />
choice, and providing a valuable facility for the community.<br />
The use of a McAvoy offsite solution for the project allowed the<br />
development of a highly constrained brownfield site. The new building<br />
is just 1.5m from the site boundary to the front elevation.<br />
The contemporary design for the new school combines strong lines,<br />
bold geometric shapes and a palette of materials that includes red<br />
brick, timber-effect cladding, render and high levels of glazing.<br />
Elements of colour provide bright accents to reflect the school’s<br />
corporate identity and emphasise the architectural features. There are<br />
brick and rendered bays to the curriculum wing, with full height<br />

Introducing the Zehnder ZVL low surface<br />
temperature radiator<br />
Zehnder Group UK, the indoor<br />
climate solutions specialist,<br />
introduces its new Low<br />
Surface Temperature (LST)<br />
radiator, the Zehnder ZVL.<br />
Zehnder ZVL brings an<br />
attractive and safe heating<br />
solution to applications where<br />
hot, radiant surfaces are<br />
unsuitable, such as nurseries,<br />
primary schools, hospitals,<br />
care homes and sheltered housing.<br />
The primary benefit of Zehnder ZVL is that its surface is safe to touch. In<br />
areas where there are vulnerable individuals, such as infants,<br />
schoolchildren, the elderly or the infirm, these radiators are ideal, as they<br />
can be touched without the risk of burns or injury.<br />
Zehnder ZVL radiators are robust structures, with a 1.5 mm thick steel<br />
sheet metal surface cover and a durable powder coat finish. These<br />
convector heaters also have smooth front panelling and rounded edges<br />
for added safety.<br />
Convection heating is especially suitable for environments where quick<br />
heat demand response times are needed, as these products can handle<br />
temperature fluctuations and quick switches to low temperatures.<br />
Zehnder ZVL radiators are compliant to NHS guidelines, making them<br />
ideal for hospital, care centre and nursing home environments. They are<br />
also tested to current EN442 health and safety standards. Simple to install<br />
and maintain, they feature front access for easy cleaning and<br />
maintenance and are available with round or rectangular grille holes as<br />
required.<br />

Case Study<br />
Construction for education set to<br />
withstand downturn<br />
Battling against political uncertainty and an economy in flux, the building industry soldiers on. Industry analysists warn of<br />
difficult times ahead but Construction experts Glenigan reassure that construction for education is expected to withstand the<br />
worst of the downturn this year. <strong>School</strong> <strong>Building</strong> Magazine Editor Joe Bradbury catches up with Glenigan’s economics director<br />
Allan Wilén to find out more:<br />
The current state of affairs<br />
Business concerns over the economy and<br />
Brexit and a slowing housing market make for<br />
a less than encouraging backdrop for<br />
Glenigan’s Construction Industry Forecast for<br />
UK construction activity. But although the<br />
value of construction project starts is<br />
predicted to fall by 6% this year and a further<br />
4% in <strong>2019</strong>, the forecasts also point to a<br />
number of opportunities for construction<br />
amid the uncertainty.<br />
Growth markets offering new tender<br />
opportunities include secondary schools,<br />
universities and student accommodation<br />
together with build to rent and health. Civil<br />
engineering contractors also stand to benefit<br />
from the start of work on some major<br />
infrastructure projects. Meanwhile, the<br />
Midlands and the North are set to be the bestperforming<br />
regions over the next two years.<br />
Plus, although the UK political scene might<br />
appear chaotic, a series of economic and<br />
financial signals emerged in the run-up to<br />
Christmas last year which offered some<br />
grounds for encouragement for the<br />
construction industry in <strong>2019</strong>.<br />
A few months into <strong>2019</strong>, business and<br />
consumer confidence remains somewhat<br />
fragile, despite the economy still being set to<br />
grow in <strong>2019</strong>. Interest rates are likely to remain<br />
low and inflation is set to ease towards the<br />
Bank of England’s 2% target.<br />
A year-end report from KPMG forecast that the<br />
economy will grow by 1.6% in <strong>2019</strong>. Moreover,<br />
overall investment which slumped to just 0.3%<br />
in 2018 is forecast to rebound to 1.6% in <strong>2019</strong><br />
and 1.7% in 2020. This in turn should help<br />
recovery in the industrial and commercial<br />
construction sectors.<br />
However, in spite of this growth, Glenigan<br />
expects the underlying value of education<br />
starts to slip marginally into decline in <strong>2019</strong>,<br />
before rebounding next year.<br />
Educational building output<br />
“Universities’ development plans and rising<br />
secondary school pupil numbers promise to<br />
drive investment in expanded and new higher<br />
education and secondary school facilities,”<br />
explains Glenigan’s economics director Allan<br />
Wilén.<br />
The reason for this confidence is that the<br />
planning pipeline for the education sector is<br />
strong. After a 5% fall in 2017, the underlying<br />
value of education projects securing planning<br />
permission rose by 13% last year.<br />
<strong>School</strong>s and universities<br />
University work in the pipeline is particularly<br />
buoyant. Construction industry research<br />
produced by Glenigan last year showed that<br />
the Russell Group of 24 leading universities<br />
had secured planning permission for £950<br />
million-worth of work in the 12 months to Q2<br />
2018 alone. More schools work is also coming<br />
on stream but through smaller schemes.<br />
In 2018, the Department for Education (DfE)<br />
awarded just over £1 billion-worth of contracts<br />
for construction work according to Glenigan’s<br />
research. This total was up 74% on 2017 and<br />
makes the DfE the industry’s third biggest<br />
client.<br />
The DfE is starting to focus on slightly smaller<br />
projects with the average contract awarded in<br />
2018 falling to £8 million from £8.8 million in<br />
the previous year.<br />
Despite a slight fall in starts in the education<br />
sector as a whole, the value of school projects<br />
starting on site rose by an estimated 9% in<br />
2018. In the first 10 months of 2018, there was<br />
also a 34% rise in detailed planning approvals<br />
for schools. Glenigan expects a rise in schools<br />
projects starting on site of 8% both this year<br />
and in 2020.<br />
Short turnaround<br />
In the short-term, the education sector is<br />
unlikely to see any major growth but the<br />
strong pipeline of work with approval augurs<br />
well further out.<br />
Mr Wilén adds “We expect political<br />
uncertainties and funding restrictions to<br />
continue to delay the realization of new<br />
projects, but the education sector has the<br />
shortest median gap between projects<br />
receiving planning approval and starting on<br />
site of any building sector.”<br />
Glenigan’s construction industry research<br />
shows that, on average, projects in the<br />
education sector take only 19 months<br />
between securing planning permission and<br />
construction work commencing. So, while this<br />
year may see a lull, 2020 will see a recovery<br />
and the need to accelerate school projects can<br />
be seen in the increasing number of modular<br />
schools projects getting the go-ahead.<br />
Morgan Sindall is using the Sunesis Mosaic<br />
modular model to build a £5 million primary<br />
and nursery school at Hackwood in Derby,<br />
while off-site specialist Extraspace recently<br />
landed a contract to build three education<br />
projects in Oldham. While education may<br />
withstand the worst of Brexit, some concerns<br />
over this impact do exist.<br />
Mr Wilén concludes “We believe that increased<br />
university investment and rising pupil<br />
numbers promise to drive investment in<br />
expanded and new higher education and<br />
secondary school facilities over the next five<br />
years, but this will be tempered by a threat to<br />
university budget’s due to the implications of<br />
research funds from Brexit.”<br />
Tender opportunities for work across Britain’s<br />
universities – where the value of planning<br />
approvals almost doubled in 2014 and 2015 –<br />
are set to remain buoyant as institutions<br />
compete for domestic and overseas students.<br />
Planning approvals rose sharply in the sector<br />
in 2017 and in the first five months of 2018.<br />
In summary<br />
Glenigan’s Construction market analysis<br />
reflects the momentum in the sector. It shows<br />
tenders have recently been returned on a £2<br />
million extension to an energy centre at the<br />
University of Sheffield (Glenigan Project ID<br />
18064849). Meanwhile tenders are invited for a<br />
£3 million extension at the University of Essex,<br />
(Glenigan Project ID 18236650) whilst work<br />
has recently started on the £14.4 million<br />
Cypress office building at the University of<br />
Liverpool (Glenigan Project ID 18000368).<br />
Secondary school construction projects are<br />
also set to expand to meet rising pupil<br />
numbers. The value of school projects<br />
winning detailed planning approval rose 50%<br />
in the first five months of 2018 which should<br />
mean more starts next year. The Glenigan<br />
Construction Industry Forecast is anticipating<br />
that the value of overall education<br />
construction starts is set to rise by 11% in 2018<br />
before slipping back slightly by 2% in <strong>2019</strong>.<br />
Although NHS capital budgets will continue to<br />
be squeezed, health-related construction is set<br />
to rise this year. Boosted by an increase in<br />
laboratory and research construction projects,<br />
the value of health planning approvals rose by<br />
16% to £2.3 billion in 2017. This is forecast to<br />
translate into a 15% rise in the value of health<br />
sector starts this year before a 6% dip in <strong>2019</strong>.<br />

Fire, Safety & Security<br />
Delta Security helps to secures local primary<br />
school with sophisticated CCTV<br />
Delta Security, a<br />
specialist in high security<br />
solutions, has installed a<br />
sophisticated 1080p HD<br />
CCTV system to protect<br />
students, teachers and<br />
visitors at the Hackneybased<br />
Rushmore Primary<br />
<strong>School</strong>.<br />
The Board of Governors decided to replace the ageing CCTV system<br />
with a solution that would provide high-quality, recordable footage<br />
day and night. As the school is based in a residential area it was also<br />
important that invisible, non-intrusive infra-red lighting was used<br />
rather than flood lights that could disturb neighbours.<br />
Based over two sites on opposite sides of a private road, there was<br />
added complexity of installing an integrated CCTV system that served<br />
both sites. Delta Security used catenary cables that run across the road<br />
to ensure the CCTV system was fully functional throughout the entire<br />
site.<br />
Dave Mundy, Managing Director, Delta Security, says education is an<br />
important sector for the business: “Having a good understanding of<br />
the requirements of the sector is why we continue to be successful in<br />
helping to secure schools. We ensure all our engineers are enhanced<br />
DBS checked, which provides the same assurances as teachers get for<br />
added convenience and safety.”<br />

Enfield’s doors pass new fire test with a<br />
reassuringly large margin<br />
Post Grenfell, the Ministry of<br />
Housing Communities & Local<br />
Government (MHCLG) asked<br />
some key fire doors suppliers to<br />
help them. Enfield Speciality<br />
Doors provided technical<br />
advice, design and fire<br />
protection expertise plus three<br />
sample doorsets designed to<br />
withstand fire for a minimum of<br />
30 minutes. The new test,<br />
designed to address areas of<br />
concern in the Grenfell fire,<br />
measures the fire resistance of<br />
doors opening both into and<br />
away from the fire.<br />
To make the test relevant for<br />
today, the test doors were designed for real life as front entrance<br />
doors for flats. They have a PAS24 Security Rating with a 3-point<br />
locking system, the latest smoke and intumescent seals, and a spy<br />
hole which many people want for security.<br />
Enfield’s doors passed the test with a large margin: ‘opening in’<br />
exceeded the time by 19% and ‘opening out’ by an exceptional 70%<br />
(51 minutes).<br />

<strong>School</strong> achieves aesthetic fire<br />
performance with MEDITE<br />
PREMIER FR<br />
A state-of-the-art sports and learning centre in Cambridge<br />
features a dramatic space-defining acoustic based on the<br />
use of MEDITE PREMIER FR fire rated panels from MEDITE<br />
SMARTPLY.<br />
The product was specified by architects Chadwick Dryer Clarke<br />
Studio (CDC) for acoustic panelling in the new sports hall for<br />
the prestigious Stephen Perse Foundation senior school.<br />
“MEDITE SMARTPLY forms a benchmark for us,” explained Mr Mark<br />
Clarke, Director at CDC, “and we have no hesitation in specifying their brand for our projects.<br />
“We chose MEDITE PREMIER FR MDF in particular for this project as it achieved the required fire performance, which is paramount for a<br />
school building. It is also suitably robust and easily formed to create the perforations required for its acoustic performance. The fact that<br />
the product is sustainably produced is also an important factor for us.”<br />
The sports hall is part of a complete new building designed by CDC, combining sports facilities with new classrooms and social learning<br />
spaces – this mixed use made careful consideration of acoustic performance essential. The decision to use acoustic panelling as a solution<br />
then provided the opportunity to create an opulent interior that would not only be functional but inspiring.<br />
Mr Clarke said: “We wanted the panelling to be able perform a dual role: to temper the reverberation times within the large volume of the<br />
hall, and provide a high-quality finish that would define the space.”<br />
Within the sports hall, approximately 530 MEDITE PREMIER FR panels were installed at high level above a storey-high ‘plinth’ of concrete<br />
blockwork. They were finished in RAL 7044, a silk grey tone, which complemented the treated cross-laminated timber (CLT) finish in other<br />
areas. The same product was also used around the building for the creation of architraves, skirtings and window linings.<br />
The result is a functional, beautiful building, which uses calming colour and modern shapes to break up and add intriguing interest to the<br />
expanse of space within the immense, four-court sports hall.<br />

Consort Claudgen launch heaters with safety<br />
monitoring feature<br />
Consort Claudgen<br />
have introduced a<br />
safety monitoring<br />
feature which will<br />
identify overheating,<br />
fan failure and certain<br />
electronic faults, in<br />
their PLSTiE electronic<br />
timer heater range.<br />
This feature helps<br />
diagnose a problem<br />
occurring in the<br />
heater and prevents<br />
high surface<br />
temperatures that could lead to risks of burn injuries. When the<br />
safety monitoring identifies a fault, the heat is switched off and the<br />
heater will beep at different intervals depending on the problem.<br />
Users can then follow clear instructions in dealing with the fault from<br />
the manual provided with the heater.<br />
The PLSTiE range also includes two new compact heaters with 500W<br />
and 750W ratings. All heaters offer a 7-day programme with 6<br />
heating periods per day and are enhanced with one of the latest low<br />
energy consumption EC motors. This allows the heater to operate<br />
quietly, whilst still providing the best possible levels of comfort.<br />

Fine acoustics help to deliver world-class school<br />
A new state-of-the-art primary school has opened its doors giving the community of Wellesley, Aldershot a modern and<br />
sustainable, purpose-built learning facility.<br />
Marking a £10.6m investment, the Hampshire County Council (HCC) designed school strives to provide an excellent start to a<br />
child’s learning. Heradesign Superfine from Knauf AMF offers a positive contribution to this vision by helping to create a<br />
healthy acoustic environment.<br />
Over time, the school will provide 420 places for pupils, therefore reducing the impact of<br />
noise in the new facility was an important consideration in the school’s design.<br />
Renowned for its excellent sound absorption properties, 700m2 of Heradesign Superfine<br />
was specified by the architects in nine classrooms and two halls, in a Natural colour.<br />
Heradesign is a range of ceiling tiles and wall absorbers manufactured from sustainably<br />

Why you should consider a career<br />
in construction<br />
With <strong>2019</strong>’s GCSE results coming up and some A-Level students still making choices for next year, Joe Bradbury of <strong>School</strong><br />
<strong>Building</strong> Magazine caught up with the National Federation of Builders (NFB), who wanted to remind school leavers that<br />
construction is the most exciting and innovative industry in the United Kingdom and it’s not just for those wanting to get their<br />
hands dirty!<br />
If you are still deciding your career path,<br />
the following facts may help you<br />
consider construction as the most<br />
rewarding and exciting of all your options.<br />
Earning potential<br />
Typically paid for by the employer, the<br />
average cost of training an apprentice in<br />
construction is around £22,000. Level 3<br />
joinery costs £21,000 to complete and<br />
bricklaying, £12,000.<br />
If you’re under 19, there is no cost. However,<br />
if over 19, you pay only 5% of the total cost.<br />
On average, those who undertake an<br />
apprenticeship are likely to earn £3,729 more<br />
per year in their first job than those who have<br />
attended university, and over £100,000 more<br />
throughout their lifetime than other<br />
employees.<br />
The average university graduate<br />
has a starting salary of £14,734<br />
while those who complete an<br />
apprenticeship on average have a<br />
starting salary of £18,463.<br />
According to TotalJobs, the average<br />
salary in construction is £37,500. The<br />
median starting salary for construction<br />
degree apprentices at £27,000.<br />
In the three years to complete a<br />
university degree, learners<br />
come out<br />
with<br />
an<br />
average<br />
of<br />
£56,000 of<br />
debt,<br />
whereas the<br />
equivalent<br />
period<br />
completing an<br />
apprenticeship can<br />
see a learner earn<br />
between £22,644, to<br />
well over £50,000.<br />
After completing their<br />
courses, apprentices<br />
also have the edge<br />
in securing<br />
employment, as they typically have three<br />
year’s work experience.<br />
Career opportunities<br />
• Construction is a growth industry that<br />
delivers careers. According to Acardis,<br />
within the next two years, an estimated<br />
400,000 new workers a year will be needed<br />
in construction.<br />
• In the previous four years, construction<br />
apprenticeship starts increased by 24%,<br />
with 47% more apprentices completing.<br />
• As construction is multi-disciplined there<br />
are many opportunities to gain transferable<br />
skills and achieve promotion, retrain, or<br />
change your career - either within or<br />
outside the industry.<br />
• In the previous four years, there has been a<br />
165% increase in women starting<br />
construction apprenticeships and a 52%<br />
increase in those from the BAME<br />
community.<br />
• After leaving university, over 90% of<br />
Construction and Built Environment<br />
(CaBE) students found jobs in their<br />
chosen area of study.<br />
• There are many different ways to get into<br />
construction, for example, degrees,<br />
apprenticeships and T-Levels, but you could<br />
always go and speak to your local<br />
construction company.<br />
• The Construction Industry Training Board<br />
(CITB) delivers funding every year so that<br />
there are always opportunities to retrain or<br />
upskill; this includes access to very many<br />
short and long term courses.<br />
Working Life<br />
The industry also yields some great<br />
opportunities to work and live abroad. Many<br />
countries see construction as a desired<br />
profession and structure their visas to favour<br />
those with CaBE and construction<br />
qualifications.<br />
Construction careers are great if you want to<br />
work part-time or self-employed. Many do this<br />
to better manage their free, family, or learning<br />
time while benefiting from good wages.<br />
Small and medium sized companies<br />
(SME’s) train two thirds of apprentices<br />
and typically employ within fifteen miles of<br />
their head offices. SMEs are the local<br />
employers and trainers, with two out of three<br />
trainees getting a job after they finish their<br />
training.<br />
Construction is a mix of office and site based<br />
roles, with very many new positions being<br />
created off-site. From drone operators and<br />
bricklayers to land buyers and human<br />
resource managers, construction is the<br />
innovative industry.<br />
Job satisfaction<br />
A recent survey by the Construction Industry<br />
Council aimed to find out if people are<br />
satisfied working in the industry. The results<br />
suggest overwhelming positivity across the<br />
sector.<br />
734 people responded to the survey, out of<br />
which 83% said that they are proud to be part<br />
of our industry. Only 4% claim that they are<br />
not, 9% are unsure. (3% chose not to answer.)<br />
Perhaps more impressively, 62% of<br />
respondents had been in the industry for over<br />
10 years - showing that even difficulties and<br />
challenges faced over recent years have not<br />
deterred them from continuing within their<br />
positions. The general message taken from<br />
the results was a good one, with the majority<br />
of people involved believing that the<br />
construction industry plays a vital role in the<br />
UK; their job directly<br />
influencing this.<br />
55% of people<br />
felt that their<br />
job was<br />
inspiring.<br />

Student Accommodation<br />
Deanestor awarded £4M furniture<br />
contracts for two new student<br />
accommodation schemes<br />
Deanestor, one of the UK’s leading contract furniture manufacturers, has<br />
been specified by the development arm of Mace for two new student<br />
housing schemes in Exeter and Cardiff which will provide over 1200 student<br />
beds.<br />
The contracts for the manufacture of the kitchen and bedroom furniture are<br />
worth £4m to Deanestor.<br />
Deanestor will supply and fit bespoke furniture for the ensuite bedrooms, studios and penthouses for The Depot in Exeter which is now<br />
under construction by Sir Robert McAlpine. This mixed-use, eight-storey scheme will provide 601 student beds, retail space and high<br />
specification communal facilities including study spaces, games room and lounge.<br />
Construction is also advancing on The West Wing in Cardiff. Galliford Try is main<br />
contractor for this 10-storey development which will accommodate 644 rooms<br />
comprising sleek studios, ensuite bedrooms and penthouse apartments. There will be<br />
an on-site media room, gym and yoga studio, private dining and study areas.<br />
Deanestor worked with Mace to develop a range of student bedroom and kitchen<br />
furniture for use on multiple schemes. The bedroom range includes three-quarter size<br />
double beds with integral storage, wardrobes, desks, book cases and shelving. On the<br />
Exeter and Cardiff projects, this furniture will be finished in white melamine with a<br />
wood-effect trim and a contrasting feature headboard and pinboard in anthracite grey.<br />

Studying the importance of window restrictors for landlords<br />
When you think of student life many clichés may come to mind, such as drinking copious amounts of alcohol, stealing traffic<br />
cones and watching Countdown.<br />
While these may be unfair to most young academics, clichés have to start somewhere. Another common one is of students smoking<br />
a sneaky cigarette out of the window of their accommodation.<br />
The British Standard requirement of 100mm opening span for a window with restrictors fitted will be a major inconvenience to a student<br />
smoker and the obvious temptation would be to circumnavigate this by unlocking them.<br />
Some keyed restrictors can be opened with common flat bladed instruments, such as a knife or screwdriver, often breaking the locking<br />
mechanism in the process, resulting in the restrictor failing open. For a landlord of student accommodation, the cost to repair or replace<br />
restrictors can soon mount up.<br />
The simple solution to this would be to fit a restrictor that is not only strong enough to prevent the window being forced open but is also robust<br />
and complex to be unlocked by anything other than the correct key. Cubelock’s Triple Lock window restrictor has been designed to meet all<br />
these requirements and with a high security mechanism that provides extra student protection from attack by non-key holders, it provides the<br />
ultimate in safety and security.<br />
Cubelock keys have been designed with three teeth, making it almost impossible to ‘pick’<br />
the Safe Lock Action restrictor with an alternative instrument. Plus, if the lock is tampered<br />
with to the point of breaking, it will fail in the locked position.<br />
Landlords have a moral responsibility to ensure that tenants are safe and window<br />
restrictors are key to this. Cliché or not, when in a party mood, we all have that air of<br />
invincibility and take unnecessary risks. Intoxication can make students vulnerable and<br />
put them at risk of an accidental fall. If an accident was to happen that could have been<br />
prevented by a functioning window restrictor, then the building owner or landlord could<br />
be liable.<br />

A fast finish for Godiva Place with Eurobrick<br />
As universities compete with each other to win new students, one area that has been given more attention over recent years<br />
is the quality of student accommodation. For some, the days of old fashioned accommodation blocks are gone, with the rise<br />
of stylish new hotel and apartment style schemes set to win new students.<br />
Eurobrick Systems has been leading the<br />
brick cladding sector for 30 years and<br />
has recently been involved in one of<br />
these new developments for Coventry<br />
University. Godiva Place is a huge hotel style<br />
accommodation scheme by Galliford Try,<br />
and for Eurobrick, this is their biggest<br />
cladding project to date.<br />
The £47.5m scheme is a 24,500m² project<br />
designed to provide student accommodation<br />
with a social hub, sports facility and parking<br />
as part of the university campus in Coventry<br />
city centre. Architects Lewis and Hickey<br />
designed the scheme for developer Regents<br />
Godiva, and were restricted by height<br />
limitations due to affecting views of historic<br />
buildings and daylight for adjacent residential<br />
properties. This means that the 5 block<br />
project varies in height between 4-9 storeys.<br />
With a mix of studios, ‘twudios’ and cluster<br />
accommodation units, the student<br />
accommodation block provides a total of 772<br />
bedrooms. Designed with a perimeter block<br />
to create a defined edge and shield from the<br />
noise and pollution of the nearby dual<br />
carriageway, the building also has a number<br />
of finger blocks that maximise daylight<br />
penetration to the interior spaces.<br />
As this was a fast-build project, with many<br />
parts of the building being constructed offsite,<br />
a quick and effective brick finish that is<br />
flexible enough to be installed on-site was<br />
required. P-Clad is an external wall cladding<br />
system that was developed for use as a<br />
sheathing on structures where there is no<br />
requirement for insulation and it is also<br />
suitable for use on some high rise<br />
installations.<br />
Godiva Place was constructed using a rapid<br />
erect, light-gauged, steel framed wall system<br />
with concrete floor slabs. The building was<br />
then sheathed in cement particle boards and<br />
Eurobrick’s P-Clad system was installed onto<br />
horizontal rails. These rails were attached to<br />
the Nvelope helping hand bracket and<br />
vertical rail support system, which also<br />
incorporates an insulation element in the air<br />
gap behind.<br />
Circa 5350m² of Eurobrick’s P-Clad was<br />
supplied to the installing contractor Select<br />
Facades, along with Michelmersh First Quality<br />
Facings brick slips that were specially cut to<br />
25mm thick, including corner slips and<br />
special angles. These were sent in staged<br />
deliveries over the course of 18 months to tie<br />
in with project timelines.<br />
Eurobrick stock a wide range of brick and<br />
stone slips and can also source other finishes<br />
and specially cut bricks from a number of<br />
specialised manufacturer partners in the UK<br />
and Europe, including non-standard sizes,<br />
glazed bricks and bespoke products and<br />
colours.<br />
A number of cladding materials were used to<br />
create the overall innovative design and eye<br />
catching exterior of Godiva Place, which now<br />
offers an aesthetically pleasing and unique<br />
style of living to the students of Coventry<br />
University.<br />

Case Study<br />
Educational sector generates billions<br />
for UK economy<br />
Britain’s education sector remains one of its most lucrative international assets with new figures revealing that its exports<br />
overseas generate almost £20bn for the UK economy. Joe Bradbury of <strong>School</strong> <strong>Building</strong> Magazine investigates:<br />
The figures, which include income from<br />
international students and English<br />
language training overseas, are growing<br />
year-on-year to an estimated £19.9bn last year<br />
and an increase of 26% since 2010 –<br />
generating significant revenue for the UK,<br />
alongside other well-known exports such as<br />
automobiles, advertising and insurance.<br />
International exports adding a significant<br />
contribution to the economy include:<br />
• Higher education - £13.4bn<br />
• Transnational education (TNE) - £1.9bn<br />
• Education products and services - £1.9bn<br />
• English Language Training Courses - £1.6bn<br />
• Independent schools - £0.9bn<br />
The figures are a welcome reminder of the<br />
strength of the sector and the UK’s exports as<br />
it prepares to leave the EU, and plans are being<br />
put in place to strengthen post-Brexit Britain’s<br />
international exports even further through a<br />
new International Education Strategy, which<br />
will be launched in <strong>2019</strong>. After leaving the EU,<br />
the UK will also be able to use its newly<br />
independent trade policy to further our trading<br />
ties with key overseas markets.<br />
The figures show an increase in educationrelated<br />
equipment, including digital<br />
technology, building on the Education<br />
Secretary’s call for the tech industry and<br />
education sector to make smarter use of<br />
technology to reduce teachers’ workload.<br />
Education has long been one of the UK’s most<br />
attractive offers for export, with English being<br />
the language of business and a central global<br />
language. The most recent data shows the UK<br />
is the most popular destination for English<br />
Language Training making up around 45% of<br />
the total market.<br />
Education Secretary Damian Hinds said “The<br />
UK has always provided world class education<br />
and these figures underline the importance of<br />
it to our economy - cementing our status as a<br />
global leader in this sector.<br />
“International university students constitute an<br />
important earnings source for our universities<br />
but they are also an important part of Britain’s<br />
cultural influence in the world. As well as this,<br />
there are big growth opportunities in areas like<br />
education technology, services and satellite or<br />
partner campuses.<br />
“Education is a fundamental part of our offer<br />
to the world, and we will work to maintain and<br />
grow this in the years to come.”<br />
Minister for Investment Graham Stuart added<br />
“This is another record year for education<br />
exports. More and more students are coming to<br />
the UK to study and our immigration changes<br />
will make the UK even friendlier as a place to<br />
study and work. From education technology to<br />
British curricula and assessment we have what<br />
the world is looking for in education.<br />
“DIT is there to support British companies<br />
from giants to start ups - to gain market share,<br />
and help the world learn. We look forward to<br />
producing a refreshed International Education<br />
Strategy this year and working with the sector<br />
to grow even faster in global markets.”<br />
The figures for education-related exports<br />
include tuition fees and living expenditure of<br />
EU and non-EU students, research and other<br />
contracts, as well as products and services<br />
such as through qualification awarding bodies<br />
and education-related equipment including<br />
educational technology.<br />
International higher education students make<br />
a significant contribution to the UK and our<br />
world-class HE sector, both economically and<br />
culturally. The latest figures from the Higher<br />
Education Statistics Agency show the number<br />
of international students starting courses at UK<br />
higher education institutions in 2017/18 are the<br />
highest on record, with a 5% increase from the<br />
previous year.<br />
These students, both EU and non-EU,<br />
contributed an estimated £11.9bn to the UK<br />
economy in tuition fees and living expenditure<br />
in 2016.<br />
As well as this, our universities are at the<br />
forefront of global research and teaching, with<br />
four in the top 10 universities in the world.<br />
These high standards, found right across the<br />
board, have led to around 460,000<br />
international HE students studying here in<br />
2017/18.<br />
In summary<br />
Whilst the educational sector is bolstering the<br />
UK economy with such an impressive sum, it<br />
cannot be ignored that many educational<br />
buildings are currently falling or have already<br />
fallen into a state of disrepair through nothing<br />
more than budgetary constraints.<br />
How will this affect our educational<br />
performance as a nation?<br />
In another article within this issue (turn to<br />
page 9) we highlighted the urgent need for<br />
school refurbishment throughout the country.<br />
Using the largest ever analysis of primary and<br />
secondary school buildings in the UK, a<br />
nation-wide poll of teachers, and extensive<br />
engagement with school buildings experts,<br />
RIBA’s ‘Better Spaces for Learning’ report made<br />
the case for an urgent review of the<br />
Government’s Education Funding Agency’s<br />
current school building programme.<br />
Alarmingly it revealed:<br />
• 1 in 5 teachers have considered quitting<br />
because of the wretched condition of the<br />
school buildings they have to teach in<br />
• The Government’s Education Funding<br />
Agency’s new school building programme is<br />
too rigid and is leading to waste and poor<br />
value for tax payers<br />
• Over 90% of teachers believe well-built and<br />
designed schools improve educational<br />
outcomes and pupil behaviour<br />
• Over-engineered schools, with Governmentspecified<br />
equipment that only costly<br />
consultants know how to operate, is costing<br />
£150 million per year which could have been<br />
avoided if schools were designed better.<br />
Good school design can reduce running and<br />
maintenance costs, in some cases by more<br />
than several times a teacher’s average salary a<br />
year; it could have prevented the English<br />
school estate from spending upwards of<br />
£150m annually on unnecessary operation<br />
and maintenance costs.<br />
Government research asserts that a mere 5%<br />
of the 60,000+ school buildings across the UK<br />
are performing as intended and operating<br />
efficiently.<br />
It seems that despite it now being universally<br />
accepted that a well-designed and maintained<br />
building is vital for a successful education,<br />
damp, leaky, outdated, asbestos-ridden<br />
schools are still prevalent. Too many pupils<br />
and teachers are struggling to learn and teach<br />
in conditions damaging to their health and<br />
education… and this needs to change.<br />
The world is inherited by the young. In an<br />
increasingly competitive environment, we<br />
need to ensure we do everything within our<br />
power to educate our youth to the best of our<br />
ability – learning from our mistakes and<br />
improving on our own childhood education in<br />
the process. The built environment influences<br />
society that occupies it, so let’s make sure that<br />
influence is positive.<br />

Altro is natural leader in biophilic design for<br />
Edinburgh schools<br />
Altro is working<br />
closely with City of<br />
Edinburgh Council<br />
to enhance learning<br />
environments in<br />
schools by using<br />
the principles of<br />
biophilic design to<br />
increase wellbeing,<br />
calm and improve<br />
learning.<br />
Interior designer at<br />
City of Edinburgh Council, Lesley McMillan, has worked with Altro for a<br />
number of years, and has recently completed a number of school<br />
projects using Altro’s Wood Safety range to help ‘bring the outside in’.<br />
Her belief in the benefits of biophilic design is at the heart of her work<br />
with schools.<br />
“Biophilic design brings the beauty and colour of nature into the built<br />
environment,” says Lesley. “Research has shown that we need to<br />
connect with nature and that exposure to it lowers stress, elevates<br />
mood, creates a relaxed feeling and improves cognitive function.<br />
“This is why I have been using Altro Wood Safety flooring for our<br />
primary schools projects. Altro’s floor and wall systems give designers<br />
freedom and possibilities. They recognise and understand the benefits<br />
of incorporating natural themes into spaces such as schools and<br />
hospitals, and their forward-thinking attitude and excellent research is<br />
in line with what we want to achieve.”<br />

Adveco TOTEM m-CHP, a Lesson in<br />
Reduced Energy Cost and Lower Emissions<br />
Bootham<br />
<strong>School</strong> in<br />
York, a<br />
charitably run<br />
independent<br />
boarding<br />
school, has<br />
selected a<br />
TOTEM<br />
microcogeneration<br />
(m-CHP)<br />
based system<br />
from commercial heating and hot water specialist, Adveco Ltd., for<br />
sustainable and cost-effective provision of power and heating<br />
throughout the school estate. The system provides £37,000 in<br />
annual operational cost savings and reduces the school’s CO₂<br />
generation helping adhere to its Quaker values.<br />
Working in partnership with Brentwood Consulting Engineers and<br />
contractor John Wright Electrical and Mechanical, Adveco<br />
recommended the installation of two TOTEM T25 m-CHP units<br />
and an Adveco MSS5000 for a pre-fed boiler system. Electrical<br />
generation by the m-CHP would decrease the energy import of<br />
the school, as well as lowering carbon dioxide emissions. Heat<br />
generated would be delivered to the hot water circuit which<br />
operates constantly through the entire school.<br />

BMI lifts the Vale with primary school<br />
project<br />
Safe, robust and theft-proof,<br />
Romilly Primary <strong>School</strong> is now<br />
set for many maintenance-free<br />
years thanks to the work and<br />
market-leading guarantee from<br />
BMI UK & Ireland and its BMI<br />
Redland and BMI Icopal products.<br />
Paul Hynam, the council’s<br />
construction consultant, set out<br />
a specification for the new roof:<br />
it should be secure, look like the<br />
existing roof, be low<br />
maintenance, resistant to theft<br />
and address environmental<br />
issues. The roof should also be<br />
quick to install so it could be fixed during the school holidays,<br />
eliminating potential disruption to the schools 700 pupils.<br />
“I chose BMI UK & Ireland because, by using their BMI Redland and<br />
BMI Icopal products, they offered a solution that met the design<br />
brief, and provided support throughout the project,” explains Paul.<br />
“Using their SpecMaster service gives you a 15-year guarantee<br />
complete with the design and on-site supervision – so you know<br />
that the roof has gone on correctly. In effect you can forget about<br />
the roof and maintenance for 15 years. BMI Redland’s Cambrian<br />
Slate also meets our environmental criteria – it’s recycled – and it’s<br />
Welsh”.<br />

New consortium launched to pioneer greater<br />
use of offsite construction<br />
A new consortium has been<br />
launched to transform the way<br />
primary schools are designed<br />
and built. This is managed by<br />
construction consultants Blacc<br />
and is funded by Innovate UK,<br />
the public body established to<br />
drive productivity and<br />
economic growth through<br />
innovation.<br />
The other partners in the<br />
Seismic consortium are technology-led design practice Bryden Wood,<br />
the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC), and two of the UK’s<br />
leading offsite specialists, Elliott and The McAvoy Group.<br />
Around 100 new and replacement primary schools are needed every<br />
year in the UK at a cost of £5bn. This level of demand far exceeds the<br />
capacity currently available in the construction industry. The challenge<br />
is compounded by the general inefficiency of the construction sector<br />
compared to UK manufacturing. Every primary school construction<br />
project has a bespoke design, is procured individually and is delivered<br />
by a fragmented supply chain. This process leads to varying levels of<br />
quality, low productivity and increased risk of time and budget<br />
overruns.<br />
The new consortium has been established to carry out extensive<br />
research and development to engineer a range of standardised offsite<br />
solutions which will radically increase productivity and efficiency, drive<br />
down costs and reduce lead times in the delivery of exemplary primary<br />
schools.<br />

Metsec wins BIM/Digital Construction<br />
Award<br />
Voestalpine Metsec has won the<br />
BIM/Digital Construction Award at the<br />
Offsite Construction Awards ceremony,<br />
held at Futurebuild <strong>2019</strong> at Excel,<br />
London.<br />
The prestigious award not only<br />
underlines Metsec’s commitment to<br />
<strong>Building</strong> Information Modelling but also<br />
reinforces the company’s position as<br />
one of the leading exponents in the<br />
digitisation of construction.<br />
Metsec was one of the first companies<br />
to recognise the significance of<br />
digitisation and the many benefits that it<br />
can bring, including improvements in collaboration, design time,<br />
manufacturing time and accuracy, all of which adds up to greater<br />
efficiency and enhanced customer satisfaction.<br />
From the outset, the company undertook a programme of focused<br />
investment in the key technologies as well as the systems<br />
necessary to delivering these benefits, including staff training,<br />
updating processes, cultural change and digitisation of the product.<br />
The results have been impressive; Metsec is the first Tier 2 Designer<br />
and Manufacturer, complying with BIM Level 2 for design and<br />
construction in the UK and the first manufacturing company to<br />
receive the BSI Kitemark for BIM.<br />

Forbo presents ‘The Forbo Collection’<br />
‘The Forbo Collection’ is a collaborative installation with the university of brighton fashion students, at clerkenwell<br />
design week <strong>2019</strong>.<br />
Following its collaboration with students from the University of Brighton, Forbo Flooring Systems is excited to introduce The Forbo<br />
Collection at this year’s Clerkenwell Design Week (CDW). This one-off collection comprises three innovative garments made from<br />
Forbo’s Flotex, Marmoleum and Tessera floor coverings to showcase its portfolio in a unique and exciting way.<br />
The Forbo Collection, which has been designed by students on the Fashion Design and Fashion Communication with Business Studies<br />
courses, embodies the collision of urban and nature, while showing how natural, sustainable materials and technically innovated materials<br />
can work together. The three specially crafted garments constructed from Forbo’s materials, both raw and finished, will be showcased in<br />
Forbo’s showroom on St John Street.<br />
Craig Higgins, Course Leader of BA(Hons) Fashion with Business Studies, at the<br />
University of Brighton, says: “Forbo has provided our Fashion and Fashion<br />
Communication students with an exciting opportunity to work in collaboration<br />
on a live brief. Designing and creating The Forbo Collection for CDW has allowed<br />
our students to use fashion as a dynamic communication tool to highlight the<br />
qualities of Forbo’s floor coverings.”<br />
Visitors will see the story of The Forbo Collection first hand, as the showroom<br />
will provide not only the finished products, but also the inspirations and behind<br />
the scenes story of this unique collaboration. The Fashion Communication<br />
students’ photography will be present in the showroom alongside the Fashion<br />
Design students’ concept sketches, mood boards and overall project<br />
development works. What’s more, not only will visitors to the Forbo showroom<br />
be able to view the students’ designs, but they will also get the chance to take<br />
away a piece of this collaborative story in the form of a zine made by the<br />
students themselves.<br />

Reducing false fire alarms in education establishments<br />
Disrupting vital teaching, interfering with crucial exams and heaping further pressure on an already strained fire service,<br />
false fire alarms remain a huge concern within the education industry but with the BSI now recommending protective<br />
covers for all manual call points, will we see a decline in malicious activations?<br />
In the 2017 revision to the BS5839-1:2017 the British Standard Institute has<br />
recommended, in section 20.2 b) of the update, that: “All MCPs should be<br />
fitted with a protective cover, which is moved to gain access to the<br />
frangible elements.”<br />
The changes came after the Fire Industry Association’s Fire Detection & Alarm<br />
Council presented their own recommendations for changes to BS5839-1:2017<br />
to the BSI following findings showing that a shocking 44% of Fire and Rescue<br />
callout turn out to be false alarms. (Source: FIA website, 2017)<br />
Safety Technology International Managing Director, Steve Hunt believes that<br />
the update to the British Standard will aid the decline in false fire alarms<br />
throughout the country.<br />
He said: “The update to the British Standard strongly reinforces the work Safety<br />
Technology have been doing for over three decades. Our protective covers are<br />
designed to prevent false fire alarms and they are effective at doing so.”<br />
All manual call points that are placed in vulnerable areas and are prone to false<br />
activations should now be protected, without the need to consult your fire<br />
safety officers. Sadly schools and other education establishments like Colleges<br />
and Universities are particularly vulnerable to false fire alarms – disrupting vital<br />
teaching time and interrupting crucial exams.<br />
Whilst some false activations are caused by accidents; whether it be from a<br />
bouncing ball in the sports hall or a flailing arm in a bustling corridor, a much<br />
more unfortunate and common cause for false firm alarms in schools is<br />
malicious activation. With some pupils determined to avoid lessons,<br />
maliciously pressing a manual call point is an easy way to force their teachers<br />
and fellow pupils to evacuate classrooms and assemble outside in the<br />
playground.<br />
One newspaper even reported that a school in Scotland had its fire alarm maliciously activated 15 times in two months interfering with<br />
important exams on consecutive days (Source: Daily Record, 2016). Not only are these hoax call-outs detrimental to pupils education but<br />
there are also both human and financial costs attached to false fire alarms.<br />
It is estimated that false alarms cost the UK in excess of £1 billion a year (Source: FIA), but apart from the waste of resources false alarms<br />
detract the attention of fire services away from real fire incidents.<br />
STI supply a range of protective covers, from integral covers to sounder models; there are variations to suit all applications. These covers<br />
are specifically designed to prevent false alarms whether accidental or malicious. In fact, the first ever STI product came directly at the<br />
request of a high school principal in the United States who had a problem with false fire alarms. STI founder Jack Taylor used his expertise<br />
in security systems to invent the original Stopper call point protector.<br />
Today, 35 years on STI has hundreds of innovative products that help make education establishments around the world safe, smart and<br />
secure.<br />
