The auditorium needed to offer high performance for sound quality while also standing up to the demands of a busy secondary school. Our lightweight aluminium panels were the ideal solution.
Each of the 90 individually punched wall panels and trays was made to order using pattern GA PPS252, with a neat 25mm plain border. These perforated aluminium wall panels allow sound to pass through them, helping to reduce echo and improve acoustics inside the hall. This makes them ideal for a space used for performances, assemblies and sporting events.
The panels were finished with a natural anodised coating – a silky smooth surface that not only looks smart but is easy to clean and built to last. The anodised finish also adds a layer of durability, protecting the panels from scratches and general wear over time.
With the school due to open for the start of term in early September, the schedule was tight. We understood the importance of delivering on time and completed production and finishing in just 18 days. This ensured that the auditorium was ready as planned, welcoming over 1,500 pupils at the start of the new academic year.
Speed of delivery without compromising on quality is something we pride ourselves on. Every panel was produced to the architect’s specification and delivered ready for installation on site.

Aluminium was the ideal material choice for this project. It’s lightweight, corrosion resistant, and environmentally friendly – all important factors in a public building.
Here are a few reasons aluminium makes sense for wall cladding:
At Gooding Aluminium, we supply high quality aluminium sheets, profiles and made-to-order products for both commercial and public sector buildings. The Pimlico Academy auditorium is a great example of how good design and clever material choices can work together to create inspiring spaces for learning and community use.
At Gooding Aluminium, we understand that every project has its own specific design and performance needs. That’s why we offer flexible aluminium solutions that can be tailored to suit a wide variety of applications, from education and healthcare to cultural venues and commercial interiors.
