Project Details

Project Name: City of Glasgow College
Location: Glasgow
Application: University
Product: Witley Oak
Collection: Refined
Contractor: GL Floors

Atkinson & Kirby has supplied Witley Oak, a solid hardwood flooring from the Refined collection to the new City of Glasgow College campus central atrium.

City of Glasgow College’s new Cathedral Street campus, in the heart of Glasgow’s Learning Quarter is one of the largest in Scotland. Designed for 40,000 students, the new college super campus includes technologically advanced facilities that blend seamlessly with the vast, open-plan teaching environment, making it an inspiring space to teach and learn.

The inclusion of Atkinson & Kirby’s flooring works perfectly with the modern interior of the college, and the high level of quality means the floor will be able to cope well with the vast footfall of students throughout the space.

The installation, handled by GL Floors based in Edinburgh, was fitted with Atkinson & Kirby’s Witley Oak, and was selected as the flooring of choice near to the stairs in the Central Atrium. To blend with the modern décor of the college, the range was chosen to compliment the stunning oak panelling on the walls in the open-plan atrium and internal roof spaces.

Martin Smith, from GL Floors commented: “With the City of Glasgow College project, we wanted to choose a range that would look visually beautiful, fit with the interior design elements and most importantly withstand a high level of footfall. Atkinson & Kirby’s Oak Witley Oak was selected as it fits perfectly with the modern style interior, helping to create the contemporary look and feel that the college wanted to achieve”.

Craig Holt, Marketing Manager for Atkinson & Kirby also spoke about the project: “We were delighted to hear that the GL Floors had decided to include Atkinson & Kirby flooring as part of the new City of Glasgow College campus interior. For a modern space, a solid oak floor works perfectly and the flooring will definitely stand the test of time in such a busy central campus”.
