Challenge

Suffolk New College, which is associated to the University of East Anglia, is a £70 million project to provide 22,000m² of extra accommodation, purpose-designed to meet the needs of the twenty first century.

Its form is defined by its urban location in the brand-new education quarter of Ipswich; providing visual links to the town centre, the station and the waterfront.

Solution

Lang+Fulton supplied panels made from Micro-15 grating with a dense 15x76mm aperture. These were used on the roof top of the two main adjoining buidings to screen the service plant.
