PARTITIONS & FIRE PROTECTION FOR NEW UNVERSITY SCI & ENG TEACHING HUB.
The Dalton Building is a new 150,000 sq ft teaching hub at the heart of Manchester Metropolitan University’s (MMU) city centre campus, created to provide a modern facility for innovative STEM learning and research over seven state-of-the-art storeys.
Our northern contracting team worked closely with architects BDP to formulate the original design of the space and later collaborated with 5plus Architects on the project through to its completion.
Our high-performing PURE100 double glazed partitions (Rw 47 dB) were used throughout the space with IsoPro doors (Rw 36 dB) to offer exceptional acoustic attentuation in an environment that combines working laboratories with teaching areas. Extended height PURE20 XL privacy screens helped divide study areas.
IsoPro doors were also utilised for access to some of MMU’s solo study pods, while Radii’s innovative bi-folding glazed doors (Rw 35 dB) were installed for larger 2-4 person booths.
Finally, the building’s fire strategy saw our our FirePro and FireStop Ei30 screens deployed to provide exit route protection.
