New Humanities Building, University of Oxford

Our western contracting team delivered frameless single and double glazed partitions and door systems across the Ground to Level 3 floors of the Centre. The use of Planet Pure, IsoPro and EclipseTec systems was tailored to the varying acoustic and functional needs of each area while maintaining maximum natural light and visual transparency throughout.

On the Ground Floor, Pure 20 single glazed (Rw 35 dB) and Pure 54 double glazed (Rw 45 dB) partitions were installed alongside 54mm timber doors to create a balance of acoustic control and openness. Level One combined Pure 54 side screens with timber doors to offices and seminar rooms, while larger classrooms featured Pure 20 glazed fronts to maintain visual connection. Levels Two and Three continued with Pure 20 partitions, incorporating Pure IsoPro glazed swing doors and EclipseTec sliding doors to define meeting pods and rooms.

FirePro EI30 double and single door sets with side panels and Dorma automation were installed throughout, providing fire protection and accessibility. FirePro was developed in-house by our dedicated product development team, ensuring performance and consistency across every project.

The result is a consistent, high-performance glazing package that enhances the building’s light, clarity and acoustic comfort across its teaching and working environments.
