UTS Ultimo
University Science & Research Buildings Select Kingspan Insulated Panels
for Minimalist, Energy Efficient Exterior Cladding
|
Project: UTS Ultimo Kingspan insulated panels were selected for the exterior cladding of a new two story high central plant room for the $100 M UTS Science and Research Building at their Broadway campus in Sydney. A versatile product, the panels were installed vertically. The plant room straddled two buildings, one an existing stock and the other a new addition. The plant room houses air handling equipment, water tanks, electrical equipment, and other university facilities Ghislain Coulon, Project Team Leader for DesignInc: "DesignInc selected Kingspan insulated panels for two main reasons. The first was an aesthetic choice. We wanted to achieve a smart minimalistic and contemporary look for the top of what is termed Building 4 as the building is over looked by the adjoining UTS Tower and the ABC Studios. The second was a functional decision that related to the panels providing an energy efficient means to ensure a stable temperature controlled environment. This was essential for the requirements of the functions housed in this enclosure We found them very well designed, easy to use, with installation well supported by the technical team at Kingspan." Mr Coulon: "The panels would also be suitable for facades or indeed roofs of auditoriums, libraries and halls, places that house large spaces as they have a very wide span and avoid the tin shed effect which is often the outcome when using profiled metal sheets."
