Work has now commenced on the new Creative Industries Building at Glyndwr University in Wrexham. The building, which will be a home for art & design, computing, humanities, theatre and performance, was designed by Lawray with sustainability at it's heart. The ?2.4m facility has been sensitively planned to complement the existing university structures, whilst incorporating sustainable design and construction techniques to give long term value for money, increased efficiency and reduction in waste and energy use. Ultimately the building has been designed to achieve a BREEAM 'Excellent' rating. Technologies employed include air source heatpumps, underfloor heating, heat recovery VRV, photovoltaics panels, low energy lighting, automated controls for natural ventilation, energy efficient fabric and glazing elements.
