ity of London Academy Shoreditch Park forms a part of The Britannia Project, a project to regenerate a thriving London community with new facilities and amenities, including new housing, a new school and community leisure facilities. Built to cater for the anticipated expanding population, the new development forms a harmonious addition to the existing neighbourhood with new, high-quality public spaces.
The new secondary school for 900 local students plus a 200 student sixth form school had complex underground constraints to take into consideration in the design process, a challenge which informed every part of the building, including the choice of flooring and its installation in the school sports hall. Planned Crossrail tunnels beneath the building meant the sports floor had to be able to cope with a much larger amount of structural movement than what
Junckers Approved Contractor V.A. Hutchison fitted Junckers 22mm solid Ash Champion over New Era battens with 125mm insulation between battens. The floor is area elastic and fully complies with EN 14904 class A4, a high-performance sprung floor which will serve the school and community for decades to come. A 22mm Junckers sports floor can be sanded and refinished up to ten times without losing performance, and with regular sandings in 12-year intervals, a lifespan of 60+ years as set out by the RIBA 2030 Climate Challenge can easily be achieved. Funding for schools issued by the Department for Education is now dependent on fulfilling strict sustainability criteria. Junckers has independently verified certification to show its flooring fulfils these criteria.

ASSA ABLOY launches new panic and emergency exit hardware for aluminium doors
S
pecifically designed for aluminum doors with Concealed Vertical Rods (CVR), the newly launched range of push bar, push pad, and touch bar panic and emergency exit devices and external hardware from ASSA ABLOY forms an integral part of building safety.
Ideal for new builds and renovations on private and commercial projects, such as retail and hospitality spaces, the range can also be retrofitted to the most common current hardware products in the marketplace, making them ideal for RMI projects in the public sector.
Independently tested and certified to EN 1125 and EN 179, the sleek and stylish hardware is fully compliant to UKCA and CE standards. Successfully passing the rigours of PAS 24 as a component of a doorset – a security requirement in many commercial buildings – they offer added peace of mind to the building owner and users. No additional keeps or doorset detailing are required for a doorset to complete PAS 24 testing, making this latest solution compliant out of the box and saving customers time and cost. Plus, ASSA ABLOY can help customers with PAS 24 testing
through its UKAS-accredited test lab. The external hardware can be locked off to prevent un-authorised entry, without compromising building users’ ability to escape. The OAD lever shape and panic products help meet the requirements of BS 8300, ensuring buildings are accessible by all users as well as giving an attractive suited range that creates a coordinated finish throughout the building.
Alison Aston from ASSA ABLOY said: “Building on our heritage in the aluminium door hardware market, with our brands like Adams Rite, the new range is easier for our customers to stock and simpler to install, saving them time and cost. Thanks to our in-house expertise, our products are UK designed, tested, and manufactured – providing added supply chain security and quality assurance. When creating the new range, we’ve listened to customer feedback, and have developed products that are affordable and instantly compatible with PAS 24 and non-PAS 24 doorsets, reducing the need for additional stock holding and/ or door fabrication. Plus, as a retrofittable product, they are quick to install and can instantly upgrade a building’s aesthetics and safety.”
Suitable for a wide variety of applications, 44
