Floating ceiling adorns Sir Ian Wood building
Hunter Douglas has created an impressive 450sqm circular floating ceiling in the reception area at the Sir Ian Wood Building, part of the £120m Garthdee Campus at Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen. The open linear ceiling in multi-width module American Red Oak provides a natural feel within an ultra-modern building that
is otherwise constructed from glass, hard masonry and cladding. Architects BDP of Glasgow asked Hunter Douglas to provide three widths – 63mm, 90mm and 117mm – to provide depth and visual interest. The panels were finished on three sides with UV resistant varnish and were also treated with Magma fire treatment.

www.hunterdouglas.co.uk Combining natural ventilation with noise attenuation from Passivent SoundScoop®
SoundScoop is a range of innovative acoustic air transfer units from natural ventilation specialists Passivent. With an optimised acoustic design for the transfer of air between noisy and noise sensitive places, it provides natural ventilation airflow through a building, combining high levels of acoustic attenuation with very low airflow resistance. Ideally suited to schools, SoundScoop is positioned at high level in the partition/wall between two internal spaces enabling natural air movement with minimal pressure drop. A patented sound absorbing design attenuates the mid frequency band of 500 – 2000Hz that speech and noise circulation fall into. Developed in association with Arup, SoundScoop can be used to meet the acoustic and ventilation requirements of BB93 and Building Regulations (Parts F and E). As James Hammick, Passivent design manager explains: “SoundScoop allows low resistance air movement around the building without the associated noise transmission, enabling natural ventilation to be effective in 'closed plan' environments such as classrooms as well as cellular offices and hotels.”

COBA Flooring’s Plan.a aluminium entrance matting has been installed in the main building at City of Glasgow College’s stunning new Riverside Campus. The ultra-modern building features an attractive atrium and Plan.a has been installed in its main reception, and in one of the side entrances. Plan.a is a high quality aluminium entrance matting system that is custom-manufactured by COBA Flooring in the UK. Extremely robust, it is ideal for areas subjected to high levels of footfall. The College chose to have its logo incorporated into the design, taking advantage of COBA Flooring’s ability to integrate an inlaid custom printed Logomat. With Plan.a, there is a choice of three insert materials: either nylon carpet; needlepunch carpet or PVC scraper inserts. It is available in either low or standard profile height with the option of a ‘closed’ or ‘open’ surface finish depending on preference. Plan.a is just one of many BIM listed entrance matting systems available from COBA Flooring.

Powermatic controlled, concealed door closers from Samuel Heath deliver a host of benefits to the education sector. Meeting all relevant fire performance and accessibility requirements, Powermatic door closers also help to reduce risk in two key areas; vandalism and self-harm. Being totally invisible when the door is closed and having few parts on show, Powermatic is less likely to be vandalised, thereby reducing maintenance costs and, more importantly, reducing the risk of a fire door being rendered ineffective by a damaged door closer. Concealment also helps to reduce the opportunity for self-harm, something that at least one local authority is believed to have recognised by switching to Powermatic. It is these factors that are making Powermatic an ideal choice for professionals responsible for new-build, refurbishment and improvement projects in the education sector.
