Fieger helps complete new University of Sheffield building

The new engineering graduate school, built on a former University of Sheffield site on the corner of Broad Lane and Newcastle Street, has been designed as the centrepiece of the university’s post-graduate research & teaching activities.

The 7 storey building contains state-of -the-art lecture theatres and provides a first class learning environment.

The building is the product of a collaboration between Bond Bryan Architects, ARUP and Graham Construction. As part of their curtain walling contract, Inasus UK were responsible for the natural ventilation system.

The strategy involved louvred vents in the facades and atrium to provide both day-to-day and emergency smoke ventilation. Following an in-depth assessment Inasus chose Fieger equipment.

Some of the important points for Bond Bryan Architects were:

  • A visually impressive product.
  • Fully tested to current European standards – CE marked.
  • Energy efficient thermal characteristics.

A key characteristic of the Fieger vents is the energy efficient design, achieved by the class-leading low air leakage rate, together with low U-values.

The vents were supplied complete with 24 volt DC actuators, to facilitate operation by the building management system and the fire protection control system.
