Visionary installation
6th March 2018

KAWNEER AA100 zone-drained curtain walling and series 190 heavy-duty commercial entrance doors have been used on the £20 million new global headquarters and R&D, training and production facility for Rayner Intraocular Lenses in Worthing, West Sussex.

Rayner designs and is the only UK manufacturer of intraocular lenses (IOL) and proprietary injection devices for use in cataract surgery. When, he chose Rayner to manufacture the ground-breaking invention. Now the company’s product range is available in more than 80 countries.

The Ridley Innovation Centre, named after Sir Harold Ridley who designed the world’s first IOL, was designed by BakerHicks, a multi-disciplinary design and engineering company, to optimise production efficiency, allow for significant future expansion in production, facilitate on site research and development, comply with current good manufacturing practice and minimise energy use.

The Kawneer systems were installed on the building and included an atrium that was curved on plan to a 2,950mm radius, by JPJ Installations for main contractor TSL Projects.
