Metsec in the frame for urban school
Published on: Wednesday, May 6th, 2009
A comprehensive in Streatham, SE London, has gained a unique new sports hall, thanks to a combination of Metsec’s lightweight steel frames and beam, and an innovative building design from Urban Space Management alongside architects SCABAL. USM, main designer and contractor on the project at Dunraven School, specialises in the re-use and revitalisation of existing buildings. USM’s design at Dunraven uses modified shipping containers as mega-building blocks linked by Metsec’s steel framing to create an innovative wall structure, and impressive Metsec lattice trusses supporting the roof on Metsec Z purlins.
