Client: South Sefton 6th Form College
Type of works: design and build of natural ventilation

The recently completed Sefton 6th Form College in Litherland, Liverpool is a centre of educational excellence incorporating the most technologically advanced facilities.

To improve teaching conditions, minimise energy use and carbon emissions a natural ventilation system was built into the design. Weather louvers with acoustic attenuation were installed at low level for the inlet air with Penthouse louvers at high level for the extract air. GDL were chosen because they were able to offer high quality products, on time at competitive prices. GDL’s additional advantage was that a Project Manager was nominated for the term of the contract to make certain all ran smoothly.
