GREEN & BLUE INFRASTRUCTURE
Tom Shipman, director at Gleeds,
the property and construction
consultancy who managed the
project said:
“It is fantastic to finally see the
accumulation of three and half
years of dedication by the project
team working seamlessly together
along with the Conservation
Officer to deliver an impressive
and architecturally sympathetic
building. The green wall is already
proving to have a positive impact at
the University, further enhancing
this historical part of Shakespeare
Street.”
Orchestrate your own LivePanel
living wall
Adding a LivePanel outdoor system
transforms what would otherwise
be a bare and grey exterior expanse
into a natural flourishing living
wall. The LivePanel modular system
features exchangeable cassettes
with slots into which any variety
can be planted – choose for foliage,
contrast, theme or floral colour.
Each row of plant cassettes is placed
in a gutter profile that serves as a
water reservoir, allowing the plants
to absorb water through capillary
action. The system elements are all
fully recyclable.

The resulting living wall not only
has a vertical green visual impact,
the plants work hard improving air
quality, encouraging biodiversity
and helping to regulate the building
temperature – with extra insulating
and sound-dampening effects
thrown in!
