Encasement casings chosen for new council services centre in Brighton
A major refurbishment project undertaken by Brighton & Hove Council to create a new customer services centre for Brighton residents at Bartholomew House is using aluminium ‘Forma’ column casings from Encasement to conceal ground floor structural columns at the £1.8 million scheme. Designed in house by the council’s Property & Design team and constructed by its strategic partner, Westridge Construction, Bartholomew House is a five-floor building that combines the services previously provided by three separate centres into a single modern facility. The ground floor, which has been extended as part of the project, houses the new spacious customer service centre, which includes eleven column casings from Encasement to conceal structural steelwork and form part of a circular seating arrangement around each column. Each 860mm diameter column casing is manufactured from lightweight aluminium and incorporates a 1,750mm diameter disc at the top of the 2.7 metre high casing to create an aesthetic finish to the installation that matches the diameter of the circular seating design. The entire project has been conceived as a low maintenance and adaptable, energy efficient design, which is expected to deliver a twelve per cent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by the end of 2013 and produce around £300,000 of cost savings each year. Encasement specialises in the supply of decorative casings, protection solutions and sustainable prod- ucts for the architectural, contracting and construction sectors.
Change brewing in Dudley…
Up to 10,000 students who attend Dudley College have had a surprise upon returning in September; a completely new sustainable café area. Leading com- mercial kitchen company CHR Equipment, based in Bamber Bridge, Preston, won the £¼ million contract to revamp the central atrium at the College’s 75 year old Broadway Campus into a fully integrated refreshment zone. As lead contractor, CHR managed the whole project, including removal of the existing refectory, kiosk, shop and coffee bar, and installation of a new café, lounge and retail areas, toilets, décor and signage. Paul Neville, CHR Equipment sales direc- tor, says: “Dudley College is setting a great example of how to rejuvenate an area to create a stimulating environment for its students, and an enhanced revenue stream for the College. The Eco Café uses recycled materials, hydro carbon refrigeration, LED light... even the coffee will be sustainable, being FairTrade under the ‘We Proudly Brew’ banner. The whole project has been designed to ensure money invested by the College is channelled back into the local economy and this will be as much as 50 per cent of the spend.”
CHANGE TO ATTRACT VISITORS
Latest figures show that visitors with disabilities account for a market worth £2 billion to English tourism. Simultaneously, the Changing Places Consortium, which lobbies for fully accessible toilets, reports an acceleration in the number of attractions installing its specification of toilet. Under latest British Standards it is ‘good practice’ to install a Changing Places toilet in buildings to which large numbers of the public have access. In the last four months alone, over 50 Changing Places toilets – which cater for people with profound and multiple learning dis- abilities and other people with severe disabilities who need the support of at least one carer – have been opened at venues across the country, bringing the total to over 300. Total Hygiene supplies disabled toileting solutions, from simple grab rails through the Clos-o-Mat ‘wash and dry’ toilet, which eliminates the need for manual cleansing by toileter or carer, to complete Changing Places toilets. The pro- vision of equipment is complimented by in-house design.
