Finnforest Merk’s Kerto engineered wood has been used to provide the new Medway campus of Mid Kent College with an eye-catching new entrance pavilion.
Used to form the pavilion’s roof and canopies, Kerto was chosen to complement to the design of the college’s principal meeting area, providing a contrast between the roof, steel deck and aluminium curtain walling surround.
Christian Lawrence, director of Nightingale Associates Architects, worked with the main contractors to help design a building worthy of a Very Good BREEAM rating, “One of the main criteria in reaching a Very Good BREEAM rating is to use responsibly sourced materials, making Finnforest’s Kerto a natural choice in helping to achieve this.
“We wanted to create a striking entrance pavilion that would provide students and visitors with an inviting space to meet in,” said Mr Lawrence. “With this in mind, we decided to use Kerto, due to its strength and aesthetic qualities.”
