OUR SOLUTION.

Our Western Contracting team delivered a suite of high-performance glazing installations tailored to the acoustic and visual needs of the setting.

Pure 100 double-glazed partitions and windows were installed throughout to maximise natural light while maintaining privacy and sound control—an essential balance in laboratory and meeting environments. Single and double leaf IsoPro doors wwere used across small and large meeting rooms, combining durability with excellent acoustic performance, while two single-leaf FirePro EI30 doors provided essential fire protection to stairwells.

On Level 4, a large seminar room, Pure 100 XL structural void screens with 17.5mm toughened glazing achieved Rw 53 dB acoustic performance, delivering outstanding sound insulation for focused teaching and discussion.

Switchable glass was incorporated here — and on IsoPro doors — to provide adaptable privacy while preserving the flow of natural light, ensuring spaces feel open and connected even when visual screening is required.

This project demonstrates our capability to integrate advanced acoustic and visual performance into educational and research environments, delivering spaces that are bright, quiet, and conducive to innovation.
