Challenge
A new 53,280ft campus was being built to enable three schools to co-locate. An Additional Support Needs (ASN) unit and a new Early Learning and Childcare Centre (ELCC) would also operate at the site.
In total there would be 21 open-plan flexible learning spaces for the potential 747 students, as well as a centrally-located shared administrative areas, gym halls and assembly area, while the ASN has capacity to assist 36 pupils with a varying range of support needs.
To ensure the success of this modern and multi-faceted open-plan approach to learning, the specification of ceiling systems with high performing acoustic control and total design flexibility was imperative.
Solution
For maximum acoustic comfort, a highly sound absorbent ceiling tile with a Tegular24 was used in offices, classrooms and stores, within a standard 24mm grid.
In keeping with the modern and sleek design of the campus, Zentia’s integrated ceiling systems were also used throughout. Whilst, in the kitchen and changing room spaces, Zentia’s Hygiene Board mineral tiles on a 24mm corrosion-resistant grid was specified.
