When LOM architecture and design was commissioned to amalgamate two schools in Pinner, Greater London, they not only understood the need to physically combine the buildings but to also create an identity that would visually unite the schools.

After extensive consultation with all involved, the design they created to achieve this involved an eye-catching arrangement of Russwood’s factory-coated Accoya cladding.

The colours look outstanding on the walls of West Lodge Primary School and, no matter what the weather throws at the boards, they will continue to brighten the days of children and staff alike.

Painted Accoya profiles provided a durable and cost-effective way of bringing new life to a tired 1970’s façade and creating a vibrant new public face for the school. Russwood supplied pre-coated Accoya cladding panels, as well as thicker profiles used in the louvred sun-screen, and offered specification and detailing advice throughout the project.”
