Top marks for Metal Technology in Dunfermline

Architectural aluminium manufacturer Metal Technology has completed the supply of its 100% recyclable aluminium, BREEAM A rated System 5-20D Thermally Enhanced Doors, System 4-20 Thermally Broken Casement Windows and System 17 High Rise Curtain Walling at Dunfermline High School in Fife.

An exemplar model for Scottish Hub Framework Bids at that time, this £40m new school was built by main contractor BAM Construction in the north-west corner of the existing playing fields. The environmentally-friendly 17,700sq m high school has a projected occupancy of 1,800 pupils.

The High School has been educating the children of Dunfermline since 1468 and today’s 21st century  ‘green’ school includes a sports hall, two gyms, dance studio, mini theatre workshop, library and conference accommodation, reflecting a design brief created by the school community and executed by Fife Council.

Sustainable initiatives at the site include the use of solar panels, rainwater collection and 40% of the heating will come from renewable sources. There will be monitors in all classrooms to ensure a balanced supply of fresh air and a wind turbine on the campus will deliver electricity to the school. Water-saving devices will also be fitted and it is hoped that these methods will play an important role in the school achieving a BREEAM rating of ‘Excellent’.
