The Petchey Academy features statement SAS International
acoustic wall panelling solution
 Market leader SAS International helped The Petchey Academy in North
London with a touch of colour as well as providing a practical
acoustic solution for its ‘state-of-the-art’ building, designed by
Aedas Architects.
The purpose designed academy on Shacklewell Lane in Hackney offers
students vibrant, modern surroundings and facilities for learning
and development. SAS International provided a bespoke architectural
metalwork solution. The curved wall was accommodated by faceted wall
panels which could follow the whole elliptical wall shape.
“We were happy that the integration of ventilation and acoustics
could be achieved within the same system, and without different
sized perforations in the panels,” commented Derek Draper,
Architectural Assistant at Aedas Architects.
Aedas Architects have created a striking design which features a
large-open plan atrium area. In this area a robust wall panelling
system for the internal space was required, with aesthetics also
being an important consideration. Perforated panels were fitted with
an acoustic material to assist in achieving the required BB93
reverberation time. The panelling was required to fit around a
statement walled curved area within the building, situated in a main
entrance and thoroughfare area, visible from outside.
Door and window openings, ventilation intake and outlet grilles were
also integrated within the wall panel.
Panels were also arranged so that the horizontal joints were
staggered, right up to the full height of the wall at 6000mm, to
create a pattern of plain and perforated panels. Also achieving a
visually appealing look, panels were finished in a stunning warm
yellow colour.
The bottom section of panelling in this high traffic area needed to
be especially robust and achieve specific impact resistance, backed
with Fermercell board for this purpose. A seamless flow was also
achieved with panels wrapping around doorways.
SAS International’s System 150 metal ceiling system was also used in
all areas requiring mechanical ventilation - kitchens, specialist
teaching areas and ICT rooms.
Metal offers a number of benefits across many criteria, including
sustainable, practical and aesthetic considerations. Polyester
powder-coated metal offers a highly durable and easy to clean
solution with an exceptional life span and minimal maintenance
costs. It is the resistance of this coating to chipping, scratching
and accidental damage that ensures this consistency of performance.
The lifespan of SAS metal solutions in normal interior conditions is
in excess of 25 years.
Studies have shown that exam results in state schools with good
building conditions are on average 17% higher than similar schools
elsewhere. The Petchey Academy is a 1,200 place mixed Secondary
School and was commissioned under the Government’s City Academies
programme and sponsored by the Jack Petchey Foundation.
