Steel framed glazed screens from Fendor Hansen have been employed to emphasise the presence of the University of Southampton?s new swimming pool. In addition to fire resistant internal screens, the package involved the 45m long, 4.6m high curtain wall which is able to cope with wind loads and thermal stresses as well as the possibility of heavy impacts. The main curtain is designed to provide a sympathetic view of the pool area from the street. While the entrance lobby and reception were separated by more glazed screens.
