Geze in the spotlight at Birmingham City University

The UK’s leading manufacturer of door and window control technology, GEZE UK, is ready for its close up with its latest project - an impressive entrance for Birmingham City University’s state-of-the-art media and television centre.

The company provided automatic doors on the main entrance lobby at the Parkside Building, home to the Birmingham Institute of Art & Design and the faculty of Performance, Media and English.

The Slimdrive SL automatic sliding doors were chosen primarily because the very low profile height of 7cm enables almost invisible integration into the facade.  This ensures maximum light and space in the impressive atrium while minimising heat loss – essential for meeting low energy targets.

With so many visitors, safety was paramount.  GEZE’s unique Slimdrive range has been designed and tested to meet all the relevant standards and regulations, including Building Bulletin 93, Approved Documents B and M, as well as assisting with the vigorous demands of the Equality Act.

Architectural ironmonger Eisenware specified GEZE door closers throughout the building.  The large acoustic doors to the television studios are fitted with TS 5000 overhead door closers, ideal for big and heavy doors, and feature an elegant satin stainless steel finish.

The TS 2000 V door closer was chosen as a highly efficient, cost effective solution for all internal doors, and finished in satin stainless steel it ensures design consistency throughout the building.   

GEZE UK’s Managing Director Kaz Spiewakowski commented: “This building houses some very impressive facilities for the city’s students.  In this high tech multi-media environment, our products are providing the right combination of performance, safety and design.”
