The £89m Technology and Innovation Centre, built by Lend Lease, for the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow has added a new dimension to one of Scotland’s largest universities.
The project has been designed to accommodate some 850 people. The aim of the building is to become an interface for the integration of academia and industry. At nine storeys high, fit-out of the new building demanded a large volume of partitioning panels that could be installed quickly as the
construction programme allowed.
The speed of fit out with our PATTRESS PLUS panels was facilitated by engineered vertical side recesses to accommodate the ‘C’ shaped metal studs used
in partition wall construction.
Thanks to the uniform structure of our OSB, fi xings can be made at any
point on the panel’s surface. This meant that, unlike plywood, there was no risk of inherent weaknesses caused by core voids or surface knotholes.
Our strong OSB panel provides optimum stabilityin the partition wall, making it ideal for the application of fixtures and fi ttings as part of an
interior fit-out programme. PATTRESS PLUS is also the environmental choice.
As part of our range, panels are manufactured from locally sourced certified timber, providing peace of mind and helping specifi ers and contractors avoid
the use of tropical plywood. Panels also carry the CE mark in accordance with the Construction Products Regulation to assure EUTR compliance.
