The recently completed £26m Maxwell Centre is the centrepiece for the University of Cambridge’s physical sciences and engineering industrial engagement activity. As part of the goal of providing industry-grade working
spaces for occupants, the university wanted the building to deliver cutting edge performance in terms of sustainability. Pilkington Insulight™ Sun double-glazed units were specified throughout the building. The glass helps keep heat inside the building during the colder months and prevents excessive heating during the summer, helping to reduce solar-energy entering the building.

A blend of light and dark red Ketley brick slips have been used in conjunction with a range of bespoke Ketley Class A red bricks to create a stunning brick facade for the new Victoria Gate Arcade in Leeds.

pleats to form an innovative 3 dimensional masonry facade. Ketley’s Class A bricks were selected for the project because of their high technical performance of very low water absorption, very high strength and unrivalled frost resistance.

The new sports hall in Clamart, France has benefitted from BEMO standing seam products to both roof and facade. The unique design, by architects Gaetan Le Penheul, demanded a complex free-flowing shape to the building. BEMO-MONRO was
chosen as it allows complex geometry to be achieved using patented roll-forming technology and in-house 3D engineering; 417 unique panels were produced and supported by the BEMO-DOME substruc- ture. BEMO were involved in the early design stages, and this strong collaboration ensured the desired form could be easily achieved.
