Kingspan TEK gets sporty at new pavilion
The Kingspan TEK Building System of structural insulated panels (SIPs) has provided the bespoke, thermally efficient shell for a minimalist pavilion at Eton College’s Willowbrook Outdoor Sports Centre. The stunning single-storey building, designed by Lewandowski Architects, sits at the centre of the site and provides a range of facilities including changing rooms, toilets and a kitchen along with a roof-top viewing platform. Feltham Construction managed work on the project which included the demolition of the building’s outdated predecessor. Wood was a key part of the material palette with charred timber fitted for the outer cladding and birch-ply boards fitted internally. This approach extended to the structure, with Bentley SIP Systems using the Kingspan TEK Building System for the walls of the structural shell. Kingspan TEK Building System is formed from SIPs with a high performance, rigid insulation core autohesively bonded between two OSB/3 facings. 142mm thick Kingspan TEK panels were selected for the walls of the pavilion. As Kingspan TEK Delivery Partners, Bentley SIP Systems oversaw the design and factory cutting of the panels before delivering them to site.

Luceco has recently provided LED energy saving lighting for Tile Cross Academy’s new facilities. Tile Cross Academy is part of the Washwood Heath Multi Academies’ Trust (WHMAT), a family of seven schools, three Secondary and four Primary, serving the city of Birmingham. During the Autumn Term, Tile Cross Academy opened its £7 Million refurbishment with new sporting facilities, food, textiles and art environments, ICT and music classrooms, science and engineering facilities. Luceco’s Leren was used in various classrooms. Leren is a contemporary and stylish linear LED pendant luminaire, offering both upward and downward light distribution providing an enhanced overall lit environment, particularly where there are high or open ceiling voids to illuminate. Leren offers over 100,000 hours of maintenance free, operational life with an efficacy of 120 Llm/cW, and three lumen outputs: 4,000, 5,200 and 7,500 lm. Supplied complete with 1.5 m adjustable wire suspensions, Leren benefits from through-wiring, including electrical connectors as standard, to assist with both standalone and continuous run installations.

www.luceco.com/uk Contour revamps Sovereign range for 2020
Contour’s new range of wall and floor mounted heat convectors combine sleek design and functional usability. The Sovereign range is particularly suitable in spaces where an element of safety is required. Educational facilities will benefit from a safe surface temperature, whilst maintaining efficient heat output to ensure individuals are comfortable during their learning.
The small grille design minimises the risk of any small items, such as stationary, being pushed inside the radiator’s internal elements. Additionally, a smaller grille design reduces the potential for users to catch fingers or items of clothing on/in the radiator. The Sovereign’s sleek design will blend seamlessly into a learning space’s existing decor, and with a wide range of colour options, you have the choice to create a strong aesthetic appeal.

British engineering helps deliver European healthcare first
The most advanced clinical healthcare simulation centre in Europe is assured of a healthy environment for its occupants despite planning constraints and almost half of the building being below ground. The award-winning Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) has opened the new centre at 26 York St, in the heart of Dublin’s St Stephens Green area, all of which is ventilated by grilles and diffusers from UK-based Gilberts Blackpool. In total, some 500 of Gilberts’ ventilators have been installed, via Keane Environmental, throughout the 10,000m2
building. Gilberts’ GSL slot, GSF perforated plate swirl, MBD multi linear blade, GZL zip and DGA
four-way diffusers plus LGN slimline linear bar grilles have been utilised to air the space. They have been incorporated into the multiple learning, study and recreational environments throughout the ten floors, including the 1200m2
Explained Keane Environmental’s Ryan Caldwell: “By using Gilberts grilles we were able to provide all the technical expertise, product quality and diversity to meet all of the project complexities.”
