Extended performance door sets for design college
Published:  27 May, 2011

The Ravensbourne digital media and design college designed by Foreign Office Architects and DEGW is a structure which encourages collaboration between different disciplines: open spaces and quiet corners, social spaces, technology hubs, design studios and production suites.

A total of 367 doorsets from Leaderflush Shapland’s Designer and Extended Performance ranges were specified to achieve prolonged fire resistance levels of up to 120 minutes; and Extended Performance Acoustic Audiodor door sets to achieve sound reduction levels of 44RwdB.

Green technologies have been built into the fabric of the building which has used environmentally friendly construction materials such as FSC timber and re-used aggregates.

Along with a green roof, solar hot water and a biomass boiler, EnduraCor has helped contribute to the Ravensbourne achieving a BREEAM Excellent status. Manufactured using mainly man-made materials or those which are either FSC or verified, legal and sustainable, this cost-effective solution could significantly reduce ‘whole life’ repair and maintenance costs.
