INDEGLAS is celebrating after winning two accolades at the Finishes and Interiors 2023 Contractors Awards for its work at the University of Glasgow’s ARC (Advanced Research Centre) building.
The Cumbernauld-based business won a category award for ‘Partitioning’, and the prestigious ‘Project of the Year’ prize.
The ARC building was crafted by architect HOK International on behalf of main contractor Multiplex.
The Project of the Year Award was judged by guest architect Robert Fry, international and executive director of Aukett Swanke Group plc. He applauded how well Indeglas achieved the brief, ‘to achieve a collaborative environment to stimulate human connectivity for the university’s academic and research community…by creating a spectacular glazed atrium and a series of high-performance function rooms with their range of high-quality products and systems’.
He went on to praise Indeglas’ ‘high level of workmanship and detail, the use of efficient and economic processes, and most notably how they enabled available daylight to penetrate the very heart of the atrium to promote the wellbeing of all building users’.
Indeglas MD Jeanette MacIntyre said, “The award ‘Project of the Year’ is particularly significant. The acknowledgement that our team achieved project outcomes above and beyond expectations – most notably in the areas of promoting collaborative working and wellbeing amongst users – was very special.
“Many of our competitors could deliver an equally beautiful, technically accomplished outcome, but at Indeglas we go the extra mile on the human-centred value we add, knowing that every piece of glass our clients invest in impacts an end-user’s life.
“We want to make the places we work, study and heal the most complimentary to productivity and wellbeing possible. Winning this award is great acknowledgment of that, and a moment I will treasure for a very long time.”
