The pupils of St Bronagh ’ s have a long tradition of championing environmental improvement projects , including the monitoring of swifts nesting in the swift boxes that have now been integrated into the external walls of the school . The school enjoys both Ambassador Eco-School and Green Flag status . Its ’ own ECO council works tirelessly to maintain an eco-friendly building .
It was no surprise then when d-on architects ltd choose Colinwell ’ s EchoCheck Acoustic Block , which is manufactured from 65 % recycled aggregates for the interior of the school ’ s Multi-Purpose Hall , they further affirmed the primary school ’ s own green credentials , while satisfying the requirements of BB93 and most importantly creating a quieter and more pleasant space .
The Colinwell EchoCheck Acoustic Block allows design teams to address sound control issues and to provide a low maintenance Fair-Face finish in one product . It eliminates the need for either visually obtrusive or imposed compromises , such as panels , screens , or curtains which are prone to damage and potentially can interfere with some games .
By choosing Colinwell ’ s EchoCheck Acoustic Block , d-on architects ltd affirmed that “ the acoustics in the Multi-Purpose
Hall were softened and incorporated into patterns on each wall and an acoustic quilt above the suspended radiant heating panels . The acoustic blocks gave a robust wall finish with the additional benefit of built-in sound absorption .”
