Three of Senior Architectural Systems’ aluminium systems are being used as part of the modernisation of a secondary school and sixth form college in Stockon-On Tees.
The creation of the new three-storey teaching block at Egglescliffe School and Sixth Form College saw Senior collaborate with architects Howarth Litchfield to design and supply suitable aluminium windows, doors and curtain walls. The fenestration package was fabricated and installed by specialist contractor Frostree for main contractor Kier Construction.
Framing the building’s modern exterior is Senior’s SPW600 aluminium window range, a three chamber, 75mm polyamide thermally broken aluminium window system. Available in a series of configurations and either single or dual colours, these thermally enhanced windows offer exceptional air permeability, water tightness, and wind resistance.
Senior’s SF52 aluminium curtain wall system was used for the scheme. Senior stated that the system offers specifiers a variety of aesthetic options as well as an enhanced thermal performance that exceeds current building regulations. The company added that it also offers design flexibility thanks to a range of configurations, the scheme incorporated Senior’s SPW501 aluminium door range to complement the SF52 aluminium curtain wall system.
Named after the celebrated British astronaut Tim Peake, the £7.1m Peake building was funded by Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council as part of its £57.7m investment programme to transform school buildings in the Borough.
