CHATIC
The University of Strathclyde’s former Student Union building is being refurbished to provide a digital, entrepreneurial and social engagement hub. CHATIC will allow the University to foster further connections with the wider innovation district, supporting start-ups and SMEs through collaborative R&D programmes and engagement activities.
The building will offer flexible space that transitions from collaborative areas to private zones, with key aspects from accessibility and lighting to digital connectivity that considers the diverse needs of the building’s end users.
Striving to become climate neutral through innovative design and construction methods, CHATIC will become a major milestone in achieving the University’s commitment to net zero by 2040. The project is targeting compliance with the Scottish Government’s Net Zero Public Sector Buildings Standard, which places this project at the forefront of current sustainable design and construction for existing buildings.
G&T and the Design Team are working collaboratively with the University to set measurable targets within the constraints of budget, programme and an existing building structure.
