Elgin Place, Glasgow
14th November 2017

Windows, doors and curtain walling by CMS WINDOW SYSTEMS have played a role in enabling Church Lukas architects and main contractor Graham Construction to deliver a new 330-unit student accommodation building in Glasgow, the £20 million Elgin Place development at 240 Bath Street for iQ Student Accommodation.

The 25-week, £1.4 million fenestration programme saw CMS fabricate and install a combination of aluminium curtain walling screens, doors, a rooflight and 160 windows. Elgin Place provides 330 rooms in a variety of configurations over 14 floors with a large ground floor retail space.

CMS applied Metal Technology systems throughout the project, including its System 17 for the eight curtain walling screens and rooflight, with all the windows using its4-35 or 5-35 Hi+ Systems.

A number of doors were also incorporated into the curtain walling screens, manufactured using the Metal Technology System 7-20 5-20D System. A more bespoke solution was developed by CMS and Metal Technology for the glass box curtain walling at levels 7 to 13 in line with the architect’s vision, which included custom designed mullion caps.

Gary Holmes, regional managing director at Graham Construction said: “The Elgin Place project at 240 Bath Street has given new life to a prominent location in the heart of Glasgow and we’re delighted to have successfully delivered it. Working with CMS Window Systems has been crucial in ensuring we deliver the highest quality result for the client and provide generations of students with a comfortable, safe, secure and visually appealing home during their academic years in Glasgow.”
