🌱Sustainability
BREEAM Excellent (74%) + EPC A
Built on formerly derelict brownfield site, minimising environmental damage + improving perception of the city from motorway
Concrete rather than traditional steel frame = high thermal mass to absorb and release heat in the building for higher energy efficiency
HVAC system incorporates a hydro box solution which takes waste heat from offices and uses it to heat water
40% reduction in internal water consumption compared to Building Regulations
🥦 Wellbeing
280-capacity Lecture Theatre
Occupational health suite and gym: with cardio, resistance rooms, and dedicated fitness class studio
Double-glazed acoustic frameless partitions provide soundproofing and bright open plan feel
16,000 sq ft of whiteboard panels made with magnetic opaque glass provide modern use of walls, encouraging creativity
Generous arcade surrounding the building creates a safe, protected walkway and outside shelter
🎈Bonus feature
Due to inclement Scottish weather and building design, a waterproofing membrane was required. The robust ‘liquid applied roofing’ called Elastoflex Solvent-Free has successfully shielded the building during the worst winter weather recorded in decades.
