“As part of our ongoing commitment to improving the University’s estate, d+b facades was appointed for the external refurbishment of the Cledwyn Bridge building. We recognised the wide-ranging sustainability betterments that their aluminium rainscreen system offered over alternatives whilst still enabling us to achieve the striking aesthetic we were seeking. Of particular concern to us was the close proximity of the Cledwyn Building to other teaching / research buildings that were in occupation throughout the contract period, however d+b facades’ extensive experience of working on live campus environments/buildings and their co-operation throughout the project was invaluable in minimising disruption to the University’s ongoing business activities.”
