SHIRLEY BOYs and AVONSIDE GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL

Project Description

Two Christchurch secondary schools, Shirley Boys College and Avonside Girls College were constructed on a combined campus in one of the largest new secondary school construction projects in New Zealand.

The project involved the installation of 17,000m2 of Rooflogic roof systems.

The schools required a high performance, low maintenance roof solution that would provide excellent levels of thermal performance for the life of the system, manage condensation risk and provide the highest levels of weather-tightness.

RoofLOGIC SYSTEM

Rooflogic specified their Ultratherm MSR system incorporating 80mm PIR Board. The system incorporated:

RL Liner Deck (coloured “Off White.”)
RL Vapour Control Layer.
RL PIR Board (80mm.)
RL Topdek T.

system benefits

Excellent thermal performance.
Vapour control layer mitigates condensation risk.
System allowed for rapid close-in to assist a compressed construction timetable
Complex detailing could be accommodated with this built up roof assembly in a way that could not be achieved with composite panel systems.
Sheet lengths of 34 metres could be supplied to site in a single length with no sheet laps or roof steps.
Rooflogic system could accommodate multiple skylight installations across the site with more than 100 skylights required.
