The St Mary Magdalene School occupies a prominent site at the gateway to the Greenwich Peninsula in London. Architects Penoyre & Prasad sought to achieve a durable building with a civic presence from a simple palette of materials.

The building integrates measures for passive energy with extensive use of Air Source Heat pumps. DeltaWing-90 compounds were installed on the roof to visually screen all the roof-top plant and sit beside 700m² of photovoltaic panels.

Lang+Fulton supplied four compounds, individually designed to suit each of the building’s connecting forms, which were constructed out of 359 robust steel louvred panels of different sizes. The panels were supplied in a hot-dip galvanized finish with an additional polyester powder coating in pale grey, RAL7035.
