Aluminium fenestration from Senior Architectural Systems was specified for two new buildings as part of the wider redevelopment of the University of Leicester’s Brookfield campus.
The redevelopment of the East Wing marks the final stage in the transformation of the University’s Percy Gee building which first began in 2010. The new four-storey extension has embraced the use of daylighting with Senior’s SF52 aluminium curtain wall and low U-value PURe aluminium windows.
The entrance has been completed with the use of Senior’s SPW501 aluminium commercial doors. Designed by Shepheard Epstein Hunter PLC, Senior worked alongside specialist installer Unique Windows Systems and main contractor Stepnell to deliver the fenestration package.
Another new building on the Campus, the new home for the School of Business, the project involved the refurbishment of the existing Victorian building and the creation of a more architecturally sympathetic gabled three-storey extension. The new building has been wrapped in copper cladding, with Senior’s SF52 aluminium curtain wall system and SPW600 aluminium windows used to create a light and airy interior, and the company’s SPW501 aluminium commercial doors installed to the main entrance. The fenestration package was once again fabricated and installed by Unique Windows Systems, this time for main contractor Henry Boot.
