Broadcasting House, Leeds
Client: Leeds Metropolitan University
Main Contractor: Downing Developments
Contract Value: £2.1 million
Project Particulars:Aluminium Double Glazed Windows, Curtain Walling and Glazing to Student Accommodation, Offices, Laboratories and Church
The Curtain Walling was Structural Double Glazed to form a continuous glass frontage using various types of glass. The job featured panes of 3.8m to 4m in height lifted into place via cranes. Originally, this was a full Curtain Walling specification but, after design suggestions from Cheshiren Architectural Aluminium plc, the design altered to a combination of Curtain Walling and Glazing and this resulted in savings to the Main Contractor and Client.
