The 6-storey building for the University of Wolverhampton provides offices and teaching facilities for undergraduate, postgraduate and executive students, together with meeting rooms and a café. Break out spaces are provided on each floor connected vertically via staircases and a series of atria to provide a high degree of transparency and visual connection across the floors.

A single-duct underfloor heating and cooling air supply system provided low-impact building services to heat and cool the whole building utilising the atria stack effect both to condition the atria and return air to the central plant without the need for a distributed return air ductwork system, to deliver a comfortable learning environment with much reduced system complexity and infrastructure.
