Case Study - Regency Ashlar - Blackpool 6th Form College

Project Description

The New Wyre Building at Blackpool 6th Form College is Phase 1 of an £11.5m project to replace the existing building stock. The building will provide a modern Science and Technology Building and will house a state-of-the-art Learning Resource area, as well as Science, Leisure, Sport and Tourism departments.

Forticrete's Regency Ashlar features around the new building and external landscaping and is a contrast against the Red Cedar, Aluminium and Stainless Steel that is also used on the project.

In conjunction with the standard  Ashlar blocks a range of special units were designed and manufactured for the project allowing some dramatic feature walls to be constructed. The project was built using a 5mm joint in lieu of the more traditional 10mm.

Phase 2 of the project - the New Medlock building - will be of a similar construction and also feature Regency Ashlar masonry. This building will provide a Visual Arts and Media Centre, Student Services and Cyber Cafe and is due for completion in August 2009.
