Burnley College is a state-of-the-art learning facility. Situated in a unique building, the college is made up of seven separate but inter-connected blocks over six levels, including extensive building trade workshops for apprentices.

A key design consideration was the elimination of background noise within the ceiling voids whilst maintaining good sound absorption in the classrooms. The choice of ceiling tile was made following numerous sound tests in sound laboratories at Salford University.

Early collaboration with the architect and principal contractor was critical in the delivery and value engineering without compromising the integrity of the building design.

The scope of the works included:
? 19,000m² of Armstrong metal pan and mineral fibre tiles
? 1,000m² of Ecophon glass fibre tiles
? A large amount of Texona wall panels
? High gloss stretch fabric featured canopies
? Avanti glazed screens with UCLAN and Burnley College logos in atrium to all levels
? Approx 3,000m of plasterboard bulkheads, margins and linings to rooflights.

A featured top hung folding glass screen to the refectory.
