New buildings at the University of Northumbria feature Gridframe curtain walling and over 900 top-hung windows following a demanding £1.3million installation project.

As well as including a specially extruded capping feature profile, design features included a limited curtain wall frame zone that was overcome using the ribbon curtain wall construction. This incorporated curved on plan staircase enclosures with rain-screen aluminium panels to the curtain wall and around 50 curved on plan side hung windows.
