Failsworth Secondary School

Colorcoat HPS200® (now superceded by Colorcoat HPS200® Ultra) was used in conjunction with Corus Panels and Profiles Guardian® Composite cladding system on the £2 million-development project to provide new premises to which the existing secondary school can relocate. The new facilities opened at the end of February 2008, and now provide 1,500 secondary school pupils with an attractive and creative learning environment.

Kier Build – the main contractor for the scheme - comments: "The main structural frames for the scheme were originally designed to be built in insitu concrete. However, changing this to a hybrid structure – specifying steel for everything upwards of the first floor slab - guaranteed the successful delivery of this complex architectural design within the defined parameters of the defined build programme.
