Senior creates a classic at the YMCA S
enior Architectural Systems, one of the UK’s largest privately owned aluminium fenestration solutions manufacturers, has delivered the glazing package for the new YMCA Community and Activity Village in Newark, Nottinghamshire.
The project saw Senior work alongside Rayner Davies
Architects and main
contractor R G Carter Construction to design and provide suitable aluminium doors, windows and curtain wall solutions which were fabricated and installed by Acorn Aluminium.
Close collaboration and early engagement within the supply chain was key to the
successful delivery of this multi-purpose building, which is the first of its kind to be constructed in the UK. The innovative community and activity centre provides a mix of facilities from sports and hospitality to training and childcare.
The striking main entrance of the building has been created using Senior’s SF52 aluminium curtain wall system which incorporates SPW501 thermally broken doors complete with automatic swing operators. A key feature of the north elevation entrance is the extra-large PURe®
commercial door
measuring 2,920 mm x 3,045 mm. Across the remaining elevations, Senior’s curtain wall system has been further complemented by the incorporation of SPW600e aluminium windows, specified as both insert vents and fixed light windows. Senior’s versatile SPW501 commercial doors have also been used throughout and on the west elevation, Senior’s patented PURe®
SLIDE aluminium doors provide additional access.
The landmark building spans ranges in height from two to three storeys and comprises some 59,000 ft2 of usable

Member companies of the Steel Window Association (SWA) have been enjoying a boom in business. This is thanks to the general upturn in activity across the housing market, with the focus on the acquisition and refurbishment of rural properties having resulted in higher than usual demand for the replacement of the traditional W20 style windows. The W20 closely replicates the appearance of the older universal suite of sections and can therefore be found providing reliable service from country cottages to dockland warehouses and in commercial, as well as industrial buildings.

The first area includes a cafe and function room, with the educational facilities available including classrooms and teaching areas for both adults and children. The activity zone features a gym and multi-purpose activity space as well as the Climbing Hall. This includes a 15 metre Olympic standard climbing wall that rises to the full height of the three-storey building and is the largest of its kind in the UK.
