Bournemouth University, BH12

Bespoke steel planters were commissioned for the new Fusion Building on Talbot Campus at Bournemouth University.

The planters create a planted, and lit, perimeter to outdoor seating and dining areas on the third floors terraces.

A total of 37 linear metres of planters were supplied, in a variety of configurations: including L-shaped planters, and straight rectangular planters. Given the lengths of the individual planters, they were manufactured in sections; to be joined on-site below the soil level, so that the surface planting appears visually continuous. The planters all had the same profile: W 1200 x H 1100mm; and all planters were manufactured from 1.5mm thick Zintec Steel, polyester powder coated to RAL 7022 [Umbra grey].
