Developed on a disused exhibition venue and car park in London, the urban regeneration project site, which includes 90 student accommodation units and 0.57 acre (25,000 square feet) of flexible commercial workspace, recently deployed more than 1,000 doorsets supplied by Assa Abloy Security Solutions (AASS).
AASS has supplied a number of security systems and products to the project, set to bring significant environmental benefits to the North West area of London, including its ASSA journal hinges, UNION high security mortise locks, master key cylinders and stainless steel door furniture, plus door closers and timber doorsets from ASSA ABLOY.
AASS developed a bespoke total specification solution that provided balance between accessibility and security at the multi-use venue, which will be used by students, staff and the public.
Fully painted timber doorsets were supplied by ASSA, in colors to match the interior design scheme, guaranteed a high quality and consistency of finish. This also helped to reduce the amount of labor and hazardous materials required on site– critical on such a large project, with multiple uses in the combination of commercial space and student living.
“The development at Blackburn Road is about more than providing student accommodation for the many thousands of students studying in London, it's a chance to improve the environment for the local residents and create more jobs during a tough employment market,” said David Shields, Regional Development Manager for AASS. “Developed on a brownfield site, the surrounding area will also see significant investment, with improvements to pavements, green areas as well as lighting and security for residents.”
