39 Is this a one-off experience or have you previously worked with Viridian? We utilize Viridian on most of our projects. They assist us with energy rating calculations, with glass options and how to resolve those important components in building. So pretty much every building, we’re talking to Viridian. How else does glass contribute to the project’s success? It gives us a really high quality façade, particularly when we look at the neighbouring buildings and the types of façades they have, this is actually a pretty high spec façade and we’re using one curtain wall system, one material that stays pristine and clean and is easily maintained. I think it adds great value for the long-term. What about feedback? Very positive and well received. People have picked up on where the colour combination comes from. It gives it that sense of flavour, which you can even see from the freeway when you drive past and you get a very strong presence of the Salta brand. We’ve been delighted with the result and by incorporating the façade we streamlined the construction process, so we’d certainly use it again. We’re particularly delighted with this façade that we have been able to create. It really makes a contribution to the unity and aesthetic of the business estate. Classrooms are daylight and place connected.
