The Brief

The brick building has towers clad in aluminium panels and a free standing Corten curved screen to reflect the footprint of the original building that occupied the site. An illuminated illustration of a Roman soldier has been incorporated into the design of the north gable. The building was designed and completed to BREEAM very good standard.
