University of Birmingham Collaborative Teaching Laboratory

A 204-seat computer laboratory which transforms the way STEM subjects can be taught.

Our work:

CDM contract to design, supply and install the glazed parametric façade. With a unique design based on the detail conceived by Sheppard Robson, Pacegrade was tasked with providing an innovative solution to meet the bespoke geometries, as well as air and weather tightness criteria of the feature parametric frames detailed on the building. The solution was achieved with Pacegrade’s five-axis machining capabilities and incorporated the Raico Therm+ system, supported on an internal timber section with external structural glazing. To validate the solution, Pacegrade completed a sample CWCT test.
