MAGPLY BOARDS TOP A TOP 25 UNIVERSITY’ S NEW ENERGY CENTRE
BUILDING AT THE HEART OF LANCASTER UNIVERSITY’ S DECARBONISATION USES MAGPLY BOARDS
A university ranked in the top 25 of sustainable UK universities is using Magply’ s fire-resistant roofing boards on its latest project to help it achieve Carbon Net Zero from all energy by 2030 and from all emission scopes by 2035.
Some 1,500m2 of Magply’ s 12mm-thick boards, which meet Euroclass EN13501( A1 Non-Combustible) standards and are BBA approved, were specified by renewable energy company Vital Energi for the roof of Energy Centre 2 at Lancaster University.
The magnesium oxysulfate boards were installed by specialist sub-contractor Axis Group to help provide a lightweight, flat surface for the waterproofing of the building at the heart of the university’ s investment in further decarbonising its Bailrigg campus.
As part of an adhered bituminous roofing system, the Magply boards were installed over metal roof deck sheets with tapered insulation and waterproofing to form a flat non-combustible surface for the roofing system.
Situated on the outer edge of its south-east Lancaster campus, Energy Centre 2 is part of a sector-leading renewable energy project to virtually eliminate the use of gas to heat the university’ s Bailrigg campus.
