CAMBRIDGE SCIENCE PARK
When architects Scott Brownrigg were given a brief to create a new gateway to Cambridge Science Park they knew the building had to be impressive to attract the desired high tech and Research and Development companies .
The design features a colonnade sweeping across the front of the building echoing the curve of the spine road and a new public space . The column spacing guides occupants and visitors to the entrance – a GEZE Slimdrive SCR curved automatic sliding door .
The building has a BREEAM Excellent rating for its design so the Slimdrive SCR was the perfect complement . The circular entrance features two sets of automatic bi-parting curved glass sliding doors , creating a lobby that minimises heat loss or gain and so helps to contribute to the building ’ s environmental credentials
In addition the Slimdrive SCR automatic curved sliding door provides a light and airy all-glass lobby entrance which blends seamlessly into the façade and the large glass atrium , it combines high performance with unobtrusive operation .
Inside the operator ’ s deep canopy an integrated air curtain was installed to further minimise any heat loss and maintain the aesthetics of the building .
The Slimdrive SCR automatic operator also provides uninhibited access and so meets the demands of Part M , BS 8300 and EN 16005 , whilst the access control system ensures security .
Recognising the outstanding design of the building , the Cambridge Science Park has been shortlisted for the 2023 British Council for Offices ( BCO ) Awards . The BCO ’ s primary objective is to define excellence in office space .
Ross Mcwatt , Associate Architect at Scott Brownrigg said ‘ We have worked with GEZE several times , they have the same focus as we do in terms combining sustainability , accessibility and aesthetics .
Richard Richardson-Derry , National Specification Manager at GEZE UK added ‘ This is an outstanding building , that meets many demands , we were delighted to play a part in creating an entrance and achieving the criteria of the brief .
