“THIS IS YOUR CAPTAIN SPEAKING”
– CAN YOU HEAR ME?
Situated at the end of Stansted Airport runway is a new
College which opened in September 2018. An association was
developed with Manchester Airport Group over a period of 5
years to secure the acre of land and get their buy-in for the
proposed college. Funds were raised via a joint venture to build
the college; two £3.5million grants from the South East Local
Enterprise Partnership (SELEP) Local Growth Fund and Essex
County Council, as well as a £300,000 grant by Uttlesford
District Council and a £50,000 funding contribution from the
Savoy Trust.
Stansted Airport College is the first on-site education facility of
its kind at any major UK airport, designed by Pascall+Watson
and built by Willmott Dixon. Courses are offered for students,
who are looking for a career in the aviation and related
industries. Acoustic consultant Cole Jarman Associates was
employed to make recommendations, to create a quiet and
comfortable learning environment.
Selectaglaze was approached to help provide a solution with
secondary glazing. Acoustic tests have shown that Selectaglaze
secondary glazing can provide a 45dB reduction if set 200mm
from a single glazed primary window with 6mm glass. Based
on this, if used in conjunction with high performance primary
windows, then the dB rating requirements would be met.
Selectaglaze installed 32 units with their Series 10 2 and 3
pane horizontal sliders and a Series 41 casement door. All were
installed with a cavity of 200mm and tightly sealed.
Not only have the staff and students already seen the enormous
acoustic benefit of the secondary glazing, but they should also
gain from thermal insulation it provides and the added security.
Established in 1966 and Royal Warrant Holder since 2004,
Selectaglaze has a wealth of experience working on many
building types, from new build to Grade I Listed buildings.
