More than 1,250 precast concrete sandwich panels on the building’s perimeter distribute loads to the foundations, removing the need for conventional columns, and providing maximum flexibility in creating room layouts. This approach means less cladding requirements, removing the need for external scaffolding, with its associated health and safety implications. Effective installations and the use of high quality, robust and durable materials will help reduce the need for future labour and maintenance requirements. The vast majority of components were manufactured offsite, decreasing build time and boosting energy efficiency.
