building for education special report NorDan timber windows bring energy efficiency to new Telford Priory School
The new Telford Priory School will open in September as a brand new build school in the PSBP programme, with windows and doors and curtain walling from NorDan, a leading Scandinavian producer for main contractor Shepherd Construction. This is part of NorDan’s recently completed multi million pound programme with Shepherd Construction building six new schools and academies for Telford and Wrekin Council, with two more to be completed. Fully reversible Scandinavian aluminium clad timber windows from NorDan with a U-value of 1.2 W/m2
K are supported by electronic actuators from
business partners SE Controls, to manage temperatures in the classrooms in hot summers. Aluminium doors and curtain walling are also part of the full turnkey package. Through early engagement, NorDan embraced the collaborative approach promoted by Shepherd, providing valuable input to the design development process, identifying affordable solutions in support of the overall project budgets. Phil Hulse, general manager at NorDan’s Leeds project management office said: “We have addressed the needs of contractors for window products to meet the high level of energy efficiency targets set under the PSBP, who recognise that our products are perfectly fit for purpose in this application”.

www.nordan.co.uk Maestro chairs & Postura+ lab stools
KI has supplied Leigh UTC over 600 Maestro chairs and 205 Postura+ laboratory stools for the UK’s future engineering and computer science workforce. KI’s Maestro chairs were specified for the main hall in black, blue grey and cottonwood (white) polypropylene colours. Maestro is a contemporary, light and comfort-
able stacking chair making it a fitting choice for this particular space; its sleek appearance and colour choice makes an interesting and striking contrast against the backdrop of yellow and slate black colour scheme of the main hall. Postura+ stools were specified for the college workshops/laboratory. They’re lightweight yet tough making it easy for students to come together for practical group work and class demos, the seats are easy to clean and highly durable.
enq.155 NVELOPE supports new building at school
NVELOPE, the rainscreen cladding support specialist has supplied its NV3 system to a new build Maths and PE teaching block at Repton School in Derbyshire. The ‘Repton Precinct’, which replaces an old demolished building, features cladding support by NVELOPE’s NV3 concealed, mechanical
fixing system. An original sandstone effect was achieved by installing TI Aerolite, while Trespa Meteon was used to create a more modern look. NVELOPE’s NV3 versatile cladding support system was the ideal solution for this project, as the brackets bear the weight of the cladding, absorbing the dead loads and the wind loads, which allows for adequate expansion and contraction.
