In 2019 University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) launched a huge £35 million state-of-the-art teaching facility. It addresses the need for innovation to encourage the next generation of world-class engineers.

The centre features a range of Saint-Gobain’s coated glass products in the façade including COOL-LITE SKN 176 II, COOL-LITE SKN 144 II and COOL-LITE XTREME 60/28 II. This specification of high-performance glass ensures energy efficiency throughout the new building, whilst the coated glass enables balance due to solar control and thermal insulation properties.
