James McCune Smith Building,
Glasgow University

Winner of the Education Award at the Glasgow Institute of Architects (GIA) Awards and Project of the Year, Pupil/Student Experience Award, and Highly Commended in the Inspiring Learning Spaces category at the Learning Places Scotland Awards 2021. The new £72 million James McCune Smith learning and teaching Hub provides state-of-the-art facilities for over 2,500 students in a highly sustainable BREEAM Excellent building that sits in the heart of a conservation area.

The choice of Knauf Ceiling Solutions materials was vital for the design in helping define the different student spaces and through its high performance ensure optimum sound absorption. HERADESIGN® Baffle Elements were used in the learning spaces and corridors and MINERAL Sonic Elements were installed in the open plan circulation areas.
