OVERVIEW
The Edinburgh Centre for Carbon Innovation (ECCI) is a new
centre for world leading research on carbon innovation. Part
of Edinburgh University’s estate, the ECCI acts as a social hub
offering teaching, support and information on climate related
challenges facing society. The ECCI also doubles up as a
green business venue for events and conferences in the heart
of the city centre.
Originally built in 1777 by Alexander Laing, the refurbishment of
the Neo Classical Royal High School was the first refurbished
building in the UK to achieve the BREEAM ‘Outstanding’
award. Refurbished by Malcolm Fraser Architects, part of the
Centre’s unique design includes careful consideration of the
building’s fabric, prioritising sustainable and recycled materials.
A facet of the building’s refurbishment was to improve its
environmental aspects such as waste, pollution, land use,
ecology, materials, management and energy.
Reaching this iconic benchmark involved sourcing materials
from a sustainable background. When Malcolm Fraser
Architects detailed the building’s ethos and aim to achieve
a BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ award. Allgood proposed a FSB
ironmongery solution that recycles 100% of the water used in
the manufacturing process and 90% of all FSB products can
be recyled at life end. Once presented with our FSB range and
environmental manufacturing credentials, Edinburgh University
were happy to use Allgood’s ironmongery solution.
Overall, Allgood supplied a combined ironmongery, sanitary
and access control package that included: hinges, door
closers, locks, kick plates, signage, grab rails, soap dispensers,
paper towel dispenser and concealed electromagnetic locks.
Having successfully supplied to other Edinburgh University
projects before, Allgood knew how to approach the project,
allowing all items to be delivered on time and within the clients
budget.
