Project Description: Application of Stone Honeycomb Panel Curtain Wall.
Application Product: EIC27D-J10S Stone Honeycomb Panel.
Design: Atkins Architects.
In 2017, the Glasgow University's ￡1 billion (approximately 9 billion RMB) campus development plan was approved. This is one of the largest educational facility projects in the history of Scotland. Among them is the completed Clarice Pears Building, Glasgow University. The ￡50 million facility of Clarice Pears Building will become the new home of the University's Institute of Health and Wellbeing. This project was designed by Atkins Architects. The building is named after Clarice Pears, the mother of the three founders of the Pears Foundation. The building will be used to host a series of joint seminars, workshops and knowledge exchange activities, as well as to develop new multidisciplinary postgraduate courses. As a prestigious public comprehensive ancient university, Glasgow University has perfectly preserved all the features of medieval Gothic architecture. The selected material for this project is Indian black stone, which is hard and has good grinding and ductility. Only 7mm thick is taken and combined with aluminum honeycomb panels through hot pressing to form stone honeycomb panels. Its flatness and strength have been greatly improved, while the weight has been significantly reduced.
Stone honeycomb panels are no longer simple plates but irregular polygonal stone honeycomb panels: sometimes it is L-shaped, sometimes it is J-shaped, sometimes it is U-shaped, sometimes it is Z-shaped, and more often it is irregular shapes. Irregularly shaped stone honeycomb panels not only increase the processing difficulty by several times but also require higher processing accuracy.
