Lincoln Medical School, Lincolnshire
The Project
Rockfon met the specific needs of a wide range of spaces while contributing to the BREEAM ‘Excellent’ environmental standards and the carbon neutral aspirations of this stunning development.
With a strong focus on sustainability throughout the design and construction process, the University of Lincoln Project Manager was Shradha Mishra, “Following extensive design and consultation with Acoustic Engineers, Rockfon were recommended for installation across the project…”
Brebur Limited were responsible for installation at Lincoln. Brebur Operations Director Vinny Lilley. “We have an excellent relationship with Rockfon. Their team is always extremely helpful both commercially and technically. The project was designed with exposed soffits to several areas which left significant room for improvement, acoustically. Rockfon ensured the appearance set out by the architectural team was achieved whilst creating suitable learning environments. …with around 2,500sqm of tile and grid components being supplied by regional distributors.”
Perfect for thermal mass applications, Acoustic Rockfon Eclipse® islands are suspended on wires directly from the soffit, and as wall panels. Elsewhere, Rockfon Blanka® is installed. The range embodies Class A sound absorption, along with outsanding light reflection, light diffusion and sound Insulation. HTM 60 compliant Rockfon Medicare® was the perfect fit at Lincoln where it offers outstanding infection control performance. The moisture resistant, wipe clean surface of Rockfon® Koral™ was important considerations for its use, while affordable, Rockfon® Artic™ was put to good use in several areas.
