In 2009, TRC supplied replacement windows for a refurbishment project undertaken by architects Farrell & Clark. The original centre-pivot windows were of German origin and were advanced for their time, maximising light in the laboratories and lecture rooms.

Roscoe Building Alu-clad Pivot Windows

To keep a consistent look, we supplied the same style of windows but aluminium-clad on the external face for ease of maintenance, and double-glazed for energy efficiency.
