Kingerlee have recently completed the installation of eighty prefabricated glazed wall units on their £35m Kendrew Quadrangle project at St John's College in Oxford.

Each unit, weighing in at 1600kg, is a composite structure built around a galvanized steel chassis. Externally, the unit is clad with Cumaru, a sustainable hardwood. The windows are double glazed with aluminium frames shaded with a stainless steel canopy.

The design of each module has been carefully integrated into a sample bedroom unit and developed with the client team at Kingerlee's head office in Kidlington.

The units are bolted back to the concrete frame of the building on pre-fixed threaded anchors which allow rapid installation.

Internally, the units will be clad with oak joinery to form book shelves and window seats.
