Product News TORMAX Opens University S
triving to be recognised as a modern college that welcomes students from a wide range of backgrounds, Trinity College, in central Oxford, developed the new Levine Building.
The building is a benchmark for overall accessibility, with main contractor, Gilbert Ash, specifying TORMAX to automate ten key access points throughout the building. Delivering reliable swing door automation, TORMAX installed their technologically superior iMotion 1301 to the main entrance doors and elsewhere in the building. For the aesthetically sensitive entrances, TORMAX recommended the iMotion 1401 operator which is neatly housed in a casing beneath floor to create invisible automation.
As Trinity College has continued to improve accessibility elsewhere on campus, TORMAX has automated three further swing door entrances.
Focusing on the College’s ambition to improve diversity of applicants, user groups were drawn from across the whole College community so that specific needs could be addressed.
Providing world-class facilities for teaching, residential accommodation, public outreach, and social activity, the Levine Building has level access to all public areas, teaching rooms at ground floor level and two new lifts. The TORMAX automated doors help ensure ease of movement throughout the building for all users.
Andy Hooper, Clerk of Works at Trinity said: “The careful planning that went into ensuring that all elements of the facility can be accessed by everyone is evident throughout, with lifts, no-step accessible rooms and automated doors.”
Swiss-owned, TORMAX UK Ltd has over 60 years of experience in the design, manufacture, installation and ongoing service of automatic door systems. With a complete range of technologically advanced door drives, for revolving, swing, sliding and folding doors, an automatic entrance is a reality for almost any location.
