T
he new Junior School for the Girls Day School Trust Notting Hill & Ealing
High School designed by
Architects Hawkins\Brown is a true lesson in sustainability. Rated BREEAM Excellent, the school serves as a model of combining best modern building practices with academic excellence.
The school worked closely with Hawkins\ Brown and were keen the building represented an opportunity to empower the students with knowledge and skills to contribute positively towards the green transition and instil optimism through actionable change. Targeting net zero in operation, the site includes 14 new junior school classrooms, additional sixth form classrooms,
library
and specialist teaching spaces for music, art, science and computing. The addition of a science garden and forest school area add to the inside-outside learning experience. Anderson
Acoustics were appointed to provide acoustic advice for the redevelopment
of the site which included large, pitched roofs and large expanses of windows and hard surfaces. Part of their solution was to specify Troldtekt’s wood wool panelling across many areas to control the acoustics in the building and provide a quiet environment for learning. The result is so effective that the spaces are now used during exams.
This is a perfect example of how Troldtekt’s wood wool acoustic panels can help transform educational spaces. The panels are available in a variety of different structures and colours, combining optimal sound absorption with an award-winning design. The Troldtekt range has a minimum expected life cycle of 50 years coupled with excellent resistance to humidity and tested to meet ball impact standards. The range is available in various sizes and structures, from extreme fi ne to fi ne. They can be supplied as natural wood, unpainted FUTURECEM™ offering a reduced carbon footprint and fi nished in almost any RAL or NCS colour.
