Working closely with Bouygues UK and architects Hawkins\Brown, Taunton Fabrications manufactured and installed the Oculus staircase, the first of its kind in the UK, at Cardiff University’s cutting-edge Innovation Campus.
Social Science Research Park (sbarc | spark) brings together researchers, entrepreneurs, student start-ups and academic spinouts in a state-of-the-art building at the heart of Cardiff Innovation Campus.
Bouygues UK, the construction company who built the £300 million state-of-the-art Campus, worked with Taunton Fabrications to design and install this breathtaking staircase, which was designed by architects Hawkins\Brown.
The staircase is a sculptural, open staircase travelling through a slanting void. Its name is taken from the oculus design, which depicts an eye that allows light to flood into a space. It aims to drive engagement and collaboration between the varying departments and uses of the sbarc | spark building.
