The Latest Portfolio Addition: Alconbury Weald Primary School

Ruukki expanded their education portfolio during the summer of 2016, completing a project at Alconbury Weald Primary School.

As a brand new school, built to support a growing local residential population, Alconbury Weald Primary had designs at the forefront of the latest in building innovation. With a site in the centre of the local area, a strong, proactive community focus, and capacity needed for 420 children, the school required a durable and aesthetically-pleasing exterior.

Working alongside the main contractor, Morgan Sindall Construction, and the installer, Asphaltic Services Ltd, Ruukki delivered the range of panels required to construct the new primary school. As part of the Ruukki Forma™ system, they supplied the Design Venice profile, coated with HIARC, RR40 Metallic Silver Matt, in addition to flat sheets for specialist flashings; sector experience enabled Ruukki to source the flashings locally, reducing lead time and transportation costs.

As these images show, the panels provide a sleek, modern and professional finish to the school’s façade. Providing cohesion between the main school building and the Early Care Centre, which forms a wrap-around care facility, Ruukki’s cladding panels and finishings give the school a polished and welcoming exterior that is at home in the local residential community.

Ruukki panels combine aesthetics and functionality to deliver a façade with optimal building performance for the education sector. For further product information, please visit www.ruukki.co.uk or email claddingsalesuk@ruukki.com.
