Timber and glass screens from Mann McGowan have been incorporated into the GB pound 23m North Glasgow College campus. Located in the Springburn area of the city, the 16,900 m2 complex incorporates a central, naturally lit atrium and a learning resource centre.
Pyrovista 60 timber screens have been used in the glazed areas within the atrium and other parts of the building. Working closely with project architects RMJM and main contractor Barr, Mann McGowan also helped integrate large opening acoustic panelling to help achieve the functionality and aesthetics as envisaged by the design.
Over 700 m2 of 23 and 25mm thick glass was installed on the project using Pyroglaze 60 seals. Some of the glass panels were over three metres high and had to be carefully positioned to avoid scaffolding. The fire resistance requirement is 60 minutes integrity and insulation, as defined in BS 476.
