Providing more than 120,000 sq ft, of innovation space for high growth enterprises, this project is situated within Imperial College London’s White City campus.

Built by a market leader with specialist expertise in modular buildings, this project demanded a high level of innovation, and a balustrade supplier that delivered on cost, quality, and timescales.

The main reception area is dominated by a large feature stair providing access to all floors, and the Orbis balustrades with glass infill achieve a stunning first impression and allow maximum light through the space from the vast glazed roof lights above.

Throughout the three core stairs, which are used for general circulation and escape routes, the vertical bar infill panels within the Orbis balustrade was used. This robust modular panel solution is pre-manufactured to speed up installation on site, which was extremely important to the main contractor. Individual staircores were not closed for extended periods of time, which means greater productivity, less management time, and reduced risk for the main contractor.
