Heathrow Academy, Heathrow Airport, London

Client: British Airports Authority
Project architect: Bennett Associates
Type of works: external cladding to walls and roof soffit

With its wing-like roof profile and full-height glazed facades, the Heathrow Academy is a welcome addition to the often-bland Heathrow architectural environment.

Because of the material's unique properties, Architects Bennett Associates chose ALUCOBOND® panels for the roof soffit, gently curving the cladding towards each end.

The panels were fabricated by Glasgow-based Booth-Muirie Ltd.
