The new £20 million North Glasgow College campus, built on a brownfield site in the Springburn area, includes a fully-equipped games hall, music rooms and libraries. It marks a significant stage in the regeneration of north Glasgow and the development of one of Scotland's largest further education colleges.

The project, which has won an award from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and was a RIBA 2009 award winner, includes over 400 doorsets from Leaderflush Shapland’s Extended Performance and Designer ranges to meet performance characteristics specifically for fire resistance (up to 60 minutes) and sound reduction (up to 44RwdB).

Leaderflush Shapland doorsets are designed as complete engineered units to meet specific performance requirements and are manufactured to exacting standards from established components. Fire resistant doorsets are third party certificated by the BWF-Certifire Scheme and are supplied with appropriate smoke seals and intumescents to suit performance.

Paul Stallan from architects RMJM commented, “The safety of students and staff is the most important aspect when designing any educational building, so of course we ensured that products of the highest standard were used in every aspect of the design and construction to guarantee the best protection against the effects of fire.”
