The new Canon Medical Arena in Sheffield has been designed by architects Bond Bryan and features a duo of sustainable aluminium fenestration solutions from Senior Architectural Systems.
Senior’s SF52 curtain wall system was the ideal choice for the arena’s modern façade, offering attractive slim sightlines and design flexibility without compromising on exceptional thermal performance. The use of this system, which offers full cradle to cradle recyclability, complements the Canon Medical Arena’s sustainable credentials as the UK’s first carbon-neutral built community arena.
Senior’s SD aluminium commercial doors were selected to complement the use of the SF52 curtain wall system and provide a robust solution for such a high traffic application. Both Senior products were expertly fabricated and installed by specialist contractor MIS Architectural Aluminium Rotherham on behalf of main contractor Beboys.
The Canon Medical Arena has been designed to address inequality in Sheffield, providing significant employment opportunities in the city as well as offering a ‘one-stop-shop’ preventative healthcare service. The centre will be home to cutting-edge diagnostic imaging systems which will help to relieve post-Covid waiting lists and allow residents to receive early intervention where needed. It is also the new permanent home of the Sheffield Sharks and Sheffield Hatters, as well as the RESPECT programme, which aims to provide young people with better access to sports and health education.
