The Project

This state-of-the-art educational facility provides the headquarters for Forth Valley College and offers 21st century learning environments to support Science and Engineering with advanced level courses in Business, Computing, Construction, Sport, Hairdressing, Beauty Therapy, Healthcare and Early Years. With a key element of the client brief focusing on the support of student and staff well being, human connectivity with daylight has been assured by the considered application of high performance internal glass screens. Indeglas developed new product components to provide seamless transitions between clear glass, coloured glass panels, solid panels and special Valcromat feature panels to meet the demands of the architects design concept. The finished screen installation contributes to what is now considered to be one of the most advanced educational environments within the UK. With responsibility for the design, supply and installation of the internal glazed screen work package, Indeglas designed and engineered triple glazed, fire rated and barrier screen types, using the DEKO screen system range to ensure the required specifications were not just met but were also developed to ensure a complete compatibility of detailing across all screen system types. Attention to detail and a high quality of workmanship throughout the installation phase ensured the finished installation exceeded all expectations.

Scope of Works

The ‘seamless transition’ design concept for the glazed and feature screens at the new Forth Valley College created a significant challenge as the core framework of the screens required adaptation, including the design and assessment of new components, to ensure aesthetic demands were met whilst ensuring the core properties of stability and acoustics of the screens were maintained. With no vertical trims whatsoever, various glass and solid panels types seamlessly transition giving uninterrupted continuity to the vertical structures in the building. This supports the transfer and reflection of daylight as it transitions throughout the building, fully supporting human connectivity with both with the external elements and each other, underpinning the ability to concentrate, learn and socialise in an uplifting environment.
