THE CLIENT.

The Hawkshead Campus development at the Royal Veterinary College is the largest single development project in the institution’s history, providing a new Student Learning Centre comprising teaching labs, communal areas, and informal social learning spaces. Radii Planet worked on two separate phases of the project, collaborating with contractors Boras and RG Carter, delivering tailored solutions to meet both design and functional requirements of the new campus spaces.

OUR SOLUTION.

Our Midlands and East contracting team supplied Pure 100 EclipseTec top-hung sliding doors. This top-hung sliding door system was integrated seamlessly into the double-glazed partition system, fitting snugly into the cavity space while maintaining both sound insulation and visual appeal. The EclipseTec system provided a clean, modern aesthetic, allowing the Student Learning Centre’s teaching labs and communal areas to remain open and adaptable, while also offering high performance in terms of noise control and ease of access. Elsewehere, thicker glazing was integrated into Pure 100 where screens were guarding a change in floor level from 1st to Ground.

In addition to the sliding doors, we supplied FireStop Ei60 & Ei30 fire-rated glazed double doors for the main corridor and lobby areas. These fire-rated doors were critical in providing exit route protection, ensuring compliance with fire safety regulations without compromising the transparent, modern look required for the spaces. The combination of our advanced door systems contributed to a safe, functional, and visually striking learning environment for students and faculty alike.
