Dumfries & Galloway College
Design and construction of a three storey FE college south of Dumfries. The 4.3 hectare greenfield site hugs Crichton Campus, Scotland’s first multi-institutional campus, hosting Glasgow and Paisley Universities, Bell College and D&G College.
A Fibre ‘C’ rainscreen cladding system enabled us to emulate the existing Victorian sandstone. A natural ventilation system reduces carbon emissions & energy costs by generating a thermal model based on, eg, body and computer heat, external wind speeds and Co2 levels. Heating & cooling is then tailored to the users’ needs.
"We wanted more than a building - we wanted a learning environment fit for the 21st Century – and beyond.
"To build something of this size and complexity in less than 18 months is something that Miller should be justifiably proud of."
