The Student Learning Centre at the Royal Veterinary College’s Hawkshead Campus is the largest single capital development project in the institution’s history. Designed by NORR, the project comprises teaching labs, a library, a main lecture theatre, communal areas, and informal social learning spaces.

A range of Metal Technology’s high-performance, architectural glazing products were expertly installed by fabricator Duplus Architectural Systems, to help meet the development’s stringent energy efficient standards. The project was dual colour white powder coat inside and bronze anodised externally.

Systems installed were:

System 17 Capped Curtain Walling
System 4-35 Thermal Casement Window
System 5-35 Thermal Tilt & Turn Window
System 23 Louvres
System 10-35 Thermal Door & Shopfront
System 5-20D Thermal Door

The Hawkshead Campus, situated in Herefordshire, is where veterinary medicine students are based for the final three years of their course, alongside veterinary nursing students and specialists-in-training. The new Student Learning Centre advances veterinary education and research while fostering a vibrant student community.
