CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

“The Hamish Wood building is a landmark campus building at Glasgow Caledonian University but over time its appearance had become dated and its performance no longer met the standards expected of a modern progressive University. The most economical and sustainable solution was to overclad the building and install new high-performance windows. d+b facades was appointed to deliver the project from design through to completion and we are delighted with the results. The appearance of the building has been dramatically transformed with improved comfort levels internally, enrichening the student experience. We found the d+b team’s co-operative, results-driven approach to be highly professional. The entire project was delivered whilst the building remained fully occupied throughout with minimal disruption to the University’s activities.”
