“By taking a design-led and simplified approach to specification, we’re able to assist architects and contractors in all areas of the development, particularly the areas that they can find burdensome, such as scheduling, which often requires in-depth levels of expertise to get right.” David Shields, Specification Development Manager at ASSA ABLOY UK Specification
Challenge
The contemporary development, which includes a 25m swimming pool, a four-court sports hall, an indoor climbing wall and a health and fitness suite, has been built next to the old centre, meaning aesthetics had to be carefully considered to balance the modern facilities with its historic setting.
Solution
By taking a design-led and simplified approach to specification, ASSA ABLOY UK Specification assisted the architects and contractors in all areas of the development, including scheduling, which often requires in-depth levels of expertise to get right. In addition, the data provided assisted with whole life costing and certifying the sustainability credentials of a building, as well as the on-going management. All stages of a visitor’s journey through the building were considered throughout the project.
