As a 21st century space for learning and research it houses the largest of the University’s modern collections on Floors 1-7, including Arts, Humanities, Sciences and Social Sciences. Style was commissioned to sub divide space, offering the University flexibility by turning key meeting and presentation areas into multi-purpose facilities. On the second floor, DORMA Moveo in a white laminate finish with an Rw 55dB acoustic rating was chosen to sub-divide the meeting rooms.
DORMA Moveo Glass was agreed as the best option for the other main meeting and presentation area. With its flush double glazing, 10mm ESG safety glass and circular screen printing this provided a stunning finish, as well as maximum light and privacy. The Moveo panels can be moved quickly, accurately and effortlessly to their designated location. Once the panels are in position the standard ComforTronic® control system automatically extends the sealing strips eliminating the need for any manual winding.
“This is a breathtaking building, and an absolute pleasure for us to be involved with,” said David Louden, Style’s Director for Scotland.
“The design and finish is stunning everywhere you look, which was why it was of paramount importance for us to find a solution that would offer both practicality, ease of operation and acoustic performance but also an aesthetic appeal that would live up to the very high standards of interior design.”

HBN 00-09 sets out these surface characteristics because unsealed joints are a recognised place for moisture and micro-organisms to collect. A genuinely joint-free edge is designed to address that specific detail.
This is a surface and edge specification, not a clinical claim. Zero-joint technology has not been evaluated or certified by NHS England, and does not claim to reduce infection rates.
Food-service and guest-facing areas are typically inspected under hygiene and housekeeping standards that look closely at surfaces and joints. A seamless, moisture-resistant edge is designed with exactly that kind of scrutiny in mind.
Every one of these sectors shares the same underlying surface problem: a bonded-strip edge is a seam, and a seam is a place where dirt, moisture or wear can concentrate in a way a continuous surface can't. Zero-joint technology addresses that one structural detail across offices, schools, healthcare and hospitality settings alike — one construction detail, one shared weak point removed, four sectors that each care about it for their own reasons.
