2. About the Project:
Project Background
Pimlico Academy is a Visual and Performing Arts College based in Westminster, London. Pimlico benefitted from the £152million BSF (Building
Schools for the Future) Programme (under Westminster Council) where they secured funds for a new sports hall that includes a new gym open to the
wider public, an all weather floodlight pitch and a new community library and education centre.
The project aim was to significantly improve the sporting and education facilities at the school. Gooding Aluminium clad the sports auditorium walls
with their lightweight, perforated aluminium wall panels, the ‘GA Ano-Sil Anodised finished panels provided fantastic acoustics for the hall which is
being enjoyed by over 1500 pupils.
Project Details
Gooding Aluminium’s project role was to supply individually-punched, slotted hole, perforated aluminium panels and trays. Each item had a 25mm
plain border in GA Ano-Sil Anodised finish.
The GA Ano-Sil anodised surface provides a durable long lasting effect that can be easily wiped clean to maintain its silky smooth appearance.
With the Academy due to open for the beginning of the new school year in early September, time was of the essence and Gooding Aluminium were
able to provide a speedy production and finishing time of just 18 days for the 90 panels and trays, ensuring the auditorium opened on schedule.

Aluminium awareness information
Key facts:
• Aluminium is great for incorporating into weight sensitive applications, such as this one.
• Environmentally friendly aluminium is the only recyclable material that more than pays for it’s own recycling costs!
• Recycling aluminium into new forms only requires 5% of the energy that originally produced it.
• All manufactured aluminium is effectively a stored energy bank for future generations.
• Aluminium is only 1/3rd the weight of steel.
• Aluminium’s surface has a self generating and repairing oxide coating which makes it corrosion resistant and therefore less expensive to maintain
than steel and other corrodible metals.
