A healthy learning environment
September 2015

CMS WINDOW SYSTEMS has completed the design and installation of energy efficient curtain walling, doors and windows for a new £27 million state of the art Teaching & Learning Facility at Glasgow’s new Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.

The building, designed by leading architects BMJ, features almost 400m2 of Metal Technology curtain walling incorporating System 5-200 doors, and 68 tilt and turn windows, as well as splayed feature pod round windows designed and fabricated by CMS as part of the £350,000 door and window contract.

CMS used energy efficient SGG Cool-Lite SKN 154 glass from Glassolutions to offer optimum solar and thermal performance. The glass reduces the risk of overheating and therefore the need for costly air conditioning during warmer periods.

The new centre will replace facilities at the Western Infirmary, Victoria Infirmary, Southern General and the Royal Hospital for Sick Children which will all close following the transfer of clinical services to the new site.

Stephen Anderson, Director of the Aluminium Division at CMS said: “The Teaching and Learning Centre will provide an ideal environment in which the medical staff of tomorrow can learn the high quality skills they will need to provide superb care. This project – backed by massive Scottish Government investment – is set to deliver truly world class new hospital facilities for the people of Glasgow.”
