EYG COMPLETE WORK ON IMMINGHAM’S NEW ACADEMY
EYG, the Hull-based commercial glazing specialists, have successfully completed a state-of-the-art glazing system on the new Oasis Academy at Immingham.
The contract, worth around £450,000, included the installation of the latest in windows, curtain walling and doors on one of the most important buildings in the Immingham area.
When finished, the academy will promote involvement with the local community and will have a positive effect on the area as a whole, providing long-term benefits for both adults and young people. As one of a number of similar learning centres in the UK, majoring on Information Technology and extending its opening hours, the Academy will help to set new standards in education.
EYG’s major accounts manager, Bernard Hastie, said: “It’s always good to be chosen to fulfil a contract on a building that is going to offer so much to local people. The Academy uses a balanced natural ventilation strategy, with air both entering and exhausting via the windows to give greater control over the air flow and temperatures.
“This is yet another example of how we have had to adapt existing products and design and manufacture new products to keep up with the ever increasing environmental demands of today’s buildings.”
EYG, who were chosen for this project by the main contractors, GB Building Solutions Ltd., are one of the country’s leading independent commercial glazing manufacturers and installers. The Group has a turnover in excess of £20m and employs around 300 people, mostly at the Wiltshire Road, Hull, headquarters.
