Educational Buildings: New Build
Winner: University of Dundee Applied Computer Building

The University of Dundee Applied Computer Building is a new building consisting of seven linked towers that allow through ventilation, essential due to the amount of machinery in use, and are spacious and easily accessible. It is a focal point on the campus green, illustrating that the university is forward thinking and innovative. The building was constructed of locally sourced materials.

The Sto external render system over brickwork, was chosen as the external cladding flowed smoothly and accommodated the organic shape of the building; and the insulated mineral wool system provided a U-value of just 0.23 W/m²K, which enabled the building to keep warm in winter and cool in summer.

The system designer was Sto Ltd; the installer, Muirfield (Contracts) Ltd – both INCA members.
