The newly-built faculty of media and performing art has become a dramatic and exciting showcase for Sapa's new RC System Elegance 52 curtain walling, windows and doors.
The 'HL' variation is one of six different curtain walling options that Elegance 52 offers whereby the vertical mullion capping is replaced by a hidden profile that sits behind a discreet finishing gasket.
The overall effect emphasises and draws the eye to the horizontal lines of the facade which appear to come to the fore and so create a striking impact along the building.
Stability of the 14 metre high facade was achieved by fixing to the steel.
Contractors for the project were Francovera based in Wervik, Belgium.
