Grade I Listed Building – Manchester College

Manchester College had on its campus a Grade I Listed building which consisted of a disused Victorian swimming pool. The college wanted to develop the building while retaining the listed structure and many of its features. Engineers came up with the idea of tying the old structure into a mainly new built outer leaf. SUKR were appointed as specialist Helifix Approved Installer to carry out a Remedial Wall Tie survey and propose a solution to achieve this. SUKR where quickly appointed to start works based on their proposal which included the installation of Helifix CemTies and HeliBars. The white glazed brickwork in the picture above is the old listed structure whilst surrounding it the new. A great example of how a disused listed building can be saved, brought back into use and benefit from new building technologies.
