Loughborough University Swimming Pool
Client: Loughborough University
Contractor: Shepherd Construction Limited
Architect: Faulkner Browns
The roof was constructed from a perforated aluminium structural deck, to help satisfy the acoustic considerations, supporting a Kalzip aluminium standing seam outer sheet. The curved sheets were pre-formed, off site, to the required radius and welded to the straight sheets on site to form a continous standing seam. Due to the internal atmosphere the roof buildup incorporated a fully welded vapour control layer.
Three strips of double glazed aluminium framed rooflights were installed to provide natural daylight to the pool area.
The vertical cladding consisted of horizontally laid metalic silver Kingspan MR1000 composite panels. All the curved polyester powder coated verge flashings were designed and fabricated from 3mm thick aluminium by our fabrication department.
