Academy completed 17 weeks ahead of schedule
Solid Wood Floor For New Arts Building
T
he American School in London has a new arts building, designed by Walters & Cohen, complete with Junckers’ solid wood floors in several areas. The final stage of a ten-year development plan, the new building sits on a prominent plot in a Grade II conservation area.
The architects designed dedicated spaces of generous proportions using high quality materials, including a gallery and exhibition space on the ground floor with floor-toceiling windows and Junckers’ premium Oak Boulevard as a backdrop. At 185mm wide, Oak Boulevard is Junckers’ widest floorboard, made in solid oak which has been prefinished in Junckers Ultramatt lacquer to withstand even heavy traffic. The natural honey tones of Junckers’ popular Harmony grade with few colour and structural graining variations, add warmth to the large open space. The flooring contractor was PICA Floorings.
T
he McAvoy Group has recently handed over the £20m Lynch Hill Enterprise Academy in Slough 17 weeks ahead of programme, allowing the school to benefit from earlier occupation.
The project is one of the UK’s largest modular schools. It demonstrates a number of innovations contributing to its early completion, reducing the programme by around six months compared to site-based construction. Lynch Hill is a 1,140-place academy free school campus specialising in science, technology, engineering and maths.
Constructed by principal contractor McAvoy, the three-storey, 8750m2 building is an exemplar offsite education project which has a design inspired by the world-leading Harvard Business School. McAvoy’s offsite solution reduced the build programme to just 53 weeks and addressed the issue of restricted access to the brownfield site.
Around 65 per cent of the building’s construction was completed offsite, and the 146 steel-framed modules were installed with doors, windows, ironmongery, internal walls, plumbing, electrics and joinery already in place.
