Martin High School Case Study

The Martin High School is a coeducational secondary school with academy status, located in the village of Anstey, Leicestershire. The school was founded in 1957 and was named after Sir Robert Martin, Chairman of the Leicester County Council, in honour of his public service.

Last year, the school were looking to replace an old, pre-fabricated block of classrooms, with a new modular six-classroom block which consists of a specialist technology-rich IT classroom as well as five other inviting classrooms which are all fitted with Smartboards, making learning more engaging for students.

Principal Contractor Wernick approached Twinfix to design, manufacture and install a bespoke entrance canopy for the new building.

The new canopy, which takes a pentagon shape incorporates Twinfix’s recently launched Alu-Link-Panel, a solid aluminium roof comprising of 3mm thick powder-coated, pressed aluminium for the roof, soffit and fascia. The structure spans 40 square-metres and scales 7.2 metres in height.

Some of the benefits of the Alu-Link-Panel system include:

• Exceptional Durability: engineered to withstand harsh weather conditions, including heavy rain, snow, and wind. It is also highly resistant to corrosion and rust, making it an ideal roofing solution.
• Energy Efficiency: designed to reflect heat, which can help reduce your energy bills and improve comfort of your building.
• Easy Installation: easy to install and requires minimal maintenance, which means you can enjoy your new roof without any hassle.
• The Alu-Link-Panel system can be powder coated to most colours so can complement the colour scheme of the adjoining building.

This innovative solid aluminium roof system will protect students and staff at Martin High School from the elements and is in keeping with the stunning aesthetics of the new Humanities Block.
