New Sports Hall - Garstang High School, Lancashire

Garstang High School were awarded planning permission for a much needed new sports facility, on condition that it made minimal impact on the surrounding countryside. The approved design incorporated an innovative sloping roof with a waterproof liquid membrane and a sedum overlay to blend in with the surrounding hills and countryside. Gables UK Ltd applied a 25 year, root resistant, waterproof system over a new Kingspan Envirodeck profile metal decking. Once the new roof was fully waterproofed, our team installed an extensive green roof system, consisting of a growing medium and sedum blanket. As the photos show, this provided a natural complementary aspect to the building, matching the surrounding hills and fields. Over the coming years, this roof will naturally re-seed to take on local plants and become a habitat for wildlife, helping to offset the carbon footprint of the building.
