The ‘Stage@Leeds’ provides a range of facilities for the School of Performing Arts and Cultural Industries at the University of Leeds. Located on the main city campus, the new building provides a main theatre for public performances, smaller teaching theatre, full back-of-house facilities, front-of-house multi-media entrance foyer and atrium, general teaching space, faculty offices and staff areas. The distinctive design concept for the building takes its inspiration from the Victorian Street patterns previously present on site and utilises a strong linear theme on the external facade. The use of dark coloured cladding, set against the adjacent glazed entrance/atrium space, works to create a sense of drama and makes a prominent architectural contribution to the campus and wider city.

Article from Lawray Architects

The new Creative Industries Building at Glyndwr University, Wrexham, is due to be completed in early December this year, and last week an important milestone in its construction was started; the new ‘green’ roof.

The roof is in the form of a spiral which starts with the grass embankment to the west of the new building. The roof therefore effectively becomes an extension of the surrounding landscape (which was one of the primary reasons for it having a natural finish).

The planting is actually sedum rather than grass, as this is more resilient to dry spells, and when completed there will be over eighteen new species on the roof to attract more wildlife onto this corner of the University site which already has a diverse ecology.

It will be another four or five weeks until the last six species are planted separately and the scaffolding is removed, at which time it should also have matured a little, giving a ‘taste’ of how it will look and develop as time goes on.

Adding new species of planting will attract an even more diverse range of wildlife to this area and help sustain the existing ecology.

Whether you define sustainable design as visually blending in with the surroundings, conserving our water supplies, increasing biodiversity, creating comfortable acoustic environments, reducing waste, or in design of flexible multi-use spaces, the new roof on the Creative Industries Building achieves multiple objectives and demonstrates the University’s and Lawrays ongoing commitment to sustainability and the environment.

Customers Comments

As time moves on and Easter approaches, the final touches on our renovation project begin. This week Sedum Supplys have been putting the gravel base onto our green roof. This substrate will hold a beautiful biodiverse roof, which all the local widlife will be able to take advantage of throughout the year
