Marischal College, Aberdeen
Marischal College is situated in the historic city centre of Aberdeen. The City Council have leased and fully redeveloped and refurbished the Grade A listed building from the University for use as office space.
A new 4-storey car park was required to service the new office accommodation. It was important that this should not have a detrimental visual impact on the surrounding environment.
Lang+Fulton supplied 716m2 of Italia-80 louvred panels as wall cladding to screen the concrete structure, while preserving some transparency for light and ventilation.
The design was worked up jointly between Lang+Fulton and Holmes Architects.
The panels were supplied to a standard design with custom-sized closing panels. These were fixed to 100x50RHS posts centred at 1.7m which were attached to the main structural steel framework.
