The new building has been designed to
provide a first class, multipurpose space
designed to Sport England standards, which
connects all of the existing sporting facilities
and vastly expands what the school can offer
in terms of delivering the sports curriculum,
extra curricular activities, community
facilities and performance space. The fun,
multicoloured façade represents the School’s
faculty colours and allows the building to
provide a new focal point for the school that
will help to inspire both students and the local
community to get active.

Transforming a
Vision
Located in Birmingham, the new
sports hall at Moseley School was
designed to offer state of the art
sports facilities, including four
basketball and badminton courts,
cricket lanes and a performance
area.
This building extension, designed by
architects Corstorphine & Wright,
has been skilfully linked to the main
school building, improving security
and connectivity features. The
inspiration for this fun multi-coloured
façade derived from the school
colours, which were incorporated into
the design process.
The new building provides an
additional 18, 298sq ft of floor
space for pupils to thrive in, and the
improved sports facilities promote a
healthier and more active lifestyle.

Technical Challenges
At the time of construction,
BENCHMARK Kreate was a relatively
new product and the Kingspan
technical team developed a process
for integrating these panels along
with other panels, such as KS1000RW.
The result was a truly innovative
building envelope which offers
outstanding performance.
Kingspan’s technical team monitored
the installation process vigilantly,
and Kingspan engineers were on site
to ensure the panels were installed
correctly and to a high standard of
workmanship.

Design Flexibility
BENCHMARK Kreate was the
perfect solution for this project. The
individual cassettes on each panel
can be constructed to consist of
different sizes and colours, offering
complete freedom at design level.
BENCHMARK Kreate allows for
curved corners to be used on the
individual cassettes, an alternative
to traditional angular corners. The
cassettes used for Moseley School all
use curved corners to give a smooth,
soft and aesthetically pleasing
appearance.
This bespoke façade system boasts
the school’s vibrant colours, creating
a fun and inspiring space for the local
community to enjoy.

Speed of
Construction
To reduce the health and safety risks
associated with a construction site on
school grounds, BENCHMARK Kreate
was chosen for its exceptionally quick
installation times. This product
combines insulated panel technology
with a façade system and is the first
integrated metallic façade on the
market.
This revolutionary product is created
in blocks and offers single fix
installation, significantly increasing
the speed of construction. The rapid
installation rates make the entire
process quick and easy.

Building Protection
This project provides a space for
the local community to enjoy and is
frequently occupied by local school
children and the general public. For
that reason, it was important for
the panels installed to meet the
strictest safety requirements. The
BENCHMARK Kreate façade offers
superior fire safety performance,
as approved by the Loss Prevention
Certification Board (LPCB).
