Wirral Met College
ACP Façade Services was appointed to deliver the façade package for the new Maths & English Centre and MV Workshop at Wirral Met College, supplying and installing Schüco curtain walling, windows and doors throughout the development.
A key feature of the project is the faceted glazed curtain wall elevation, designed to create the appearance of a curved façade through a series of carefully configured glazed sections. Combined with extensive glazing and a fully glazed entrance, the façade creates a modern, highly visible educational facility that reflects the college’s investment in future-focused learning environments.
