RICS Award for Great Tapestry of Scotland Centre, Galashiels

The team behind the design and build of the Great Tapestry of Scotland visitor centre in Galashiels is celebrating another accolade after winning the RICS Scotland Award for best public building.

The building, designed by Page\Park Architect and built by Ogilvie Construction, consists of gallery spaces, a visitor centre, café, workshop area and offices. The front of the neighbouring B listed post office was refurbished to accommodate staff and studio space.

Colin Smith MRICS, chair of the judging panel, said: “These winning projects are a true testament to the hard work of property professionals in Scotland. The pandemic has led to the industry facing much uncertainty and challenging conditions, but we were delighted, and very proud to see such innovative building projects appearing across our cities and towns.”

The building won the Design Award for New Build (Commercial) in the Scottish Borders Design Awards earlier in 2022. The visitor centre has also received the highest 5-star rating for visitor experience by Visit Scotland, which reflects an ‘exceptional customer experience.’

Marshall Brown were delighted to support main contractor Ogilvie and architects Page/Park with the design, manufacture, supply and installation of the curtain walling for the project. Business Development Manager Barrie Sheppard commented “When Ogilvie approached us about the project, we jumped at the chance to be involved. Prestigious projects like this don’t come along very often, so we were delighted to have been successful.”

The Great Tapestry of Scotland is a unique project to stitch the entire story of Scotland from pre-history to modern times and through its artistry and visual storytelling, making Scotland’s history, heritage and culture accessible to all.

Printworks Project Commences

Marshall Brown are delighted to have secured their 13th Student Accommodation project with valued client, Watkin Jones.

This order comes on the back of our recently completed projects at St Mungo Avenue, Glasgow and Market Street , Newcastle for the Welsh contractor.

Marshall brown will be designing, fabricating and installing all the windows, doors and curtainwall on this  401 student bed accommodation which is on the site of a former printworks at Kyle Street, Glasgow.

Positing their design principles Fletcher Joseph Architects wrote: “The basic form of the building is a cuboid with a chunk removed to the south west to allow for a protected courtyard. This was the result of extruding the basic footprint of the currently consented scheme – which reinforces the existing urban block with building frontage to Kyle Street, Stafford Street and Calgary Street – over the required height to form a protected courtyard to the rear.

“The protected courtyard forms the heart of the development, providing an external amenity space that compliments internal social areas along with breaking down the mass of the development.”

Faced predominantly in brick with deep reveals the scheme also includes areas of light composite stone panels, dark grey metal and green living wall gables.

Glazing installation will commence in September 2018

Easter Bush Campus officially opens!

Our University of Edinburgh project constructed with valued client , Mclaughlin & Harvey, was officially opened by The Princess Royal, who is Chancellor of the University and Patron of the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies on May 1.

The 7000m2 sustainable building was completed at the end of 2017 with the project overseen by the Estates Department and designed by multi-disciplinary firm Atkins. The building provides shared facilities for students, staff and research scientists, consisting of state-of-the-art facilities for use by the Vet School, teaching and exhibition space, as well as ancillary accommodation including a gym, shop, support services and a multi faith contemplation space.

It is also home to The Roslin Innovation Centre; which provides flexible, open plan, cellular office and laboratory space for rental to start-up companies undertaking strategic, commercial and collaborative research in the Animal and Veterinary Sciences; Agri Tech and One Health industries.

With its western side clad in local stone and a ‘living green wall’ and its eastern side appearing to float above the ground, it is hoped that the building will become an icon for the University. It will also act as the gateway to the campus, which as well as being home to The Royal Dick Vet School and its newly expanded equine hospital, also houses The Roslin Institute, the renowned animal sciences research institute.

The building has been named after Orlando Charnock Bradley, one of the foremost veterinarians of the 20th century and Principal of the Royal (Dick) Veterinary College (as it was then known) from 1911 until his death in 1937.
