Project Information:
A new state-of-the art college sports building at University College Plymouth
has been given an environmentally-friendly and durable facade with John Brash
Thermowood.
The architects Roberts Limbrick specified the Thermowood Cladding because it
provided enhanced durability, whilst the use of timber cladding helped minimise
the building’s carbon footprint. It will also help improve the building’s energy
efficiency, as the thermal conductivity of timber is 12 times lower than concrete
and 400 times lower than steel.
