MMU Brooks Building

ARCHITECT: Sheppard Robson

LOCATION: Birley Fields Campus, Manchester, UK

Gariff manufactured and installed in excess of 7000 veneered wood and acoustic fabric panels for the work completed on the atrium at Manchester Metropolitan University’s new Brooks Building. The feature ‘Spanish’ staircase incorporating solid oak seating details was also manufactured in our workshop and installed on site by Gariff’s specialist joinery team. In addition, the project included the fit-out of a library area featuring custom-built computer stations, fixed meeting booths and book display cabinets. Numerous bespoke-made QMark fire rated doorsets were manufactured in-house and installed on site with all test certificates provided for the client. A specialist CNC perforated oak panelling system was also produced to encase the building’s heating & ventilation systems.
