Science and technology
Our work in the science and technology sectors includes the design, manufacture and installation of high performance facades, rainscreen cladding, windows and doors.
Our experience in this sector ranges from the impressive glazed facade of the new Square Kilometre Array (SKA) HQ at Jodrell Bank in Cheshire to the award-winning Project Capella, a state of the art laboratory building for the University of Cambridge at their Biomedical Campus.
Technical facades
New science buildings often feature visually striking facades which may seek to push boundaries in terms of material choices or aesthetics.
At the same time, they may include areas such as laboratories where the requirement for absolute control over the internal environment could not be more critical.
Our design technicians are experts in creating an optimum balance between aesthetics and performance, prioritising considerations of sustainability and the efficient use of energy along with safety and security and the comfort of building users.
SYSTEMS
