City, University of London

Project Location: London EC1V

Bespoke steel planters were commissioned for communal courtyard gardens at City, University of London.

This was a sizeable project, and a total of 97nr. planters were supplied, in a range of shapes and sizes – from square tree planters of dims. L / W 1200 x H 900mm, to rectangular shrub planters of variable lengths from L 1800 down to L 900mm. The planters were manufactured, to IOTA’s standard design, from Zintec Steel, polyester powder coated to RAL 7040 [Window grey].

IOTA’s planters were commissioned, by Overbury, as one element of the Tait Level 1 Amenity Project – an initiative to provide new student-facing facilities at the Northampton Square university campus, to include:

  • A suite of space for the Students’ Union
  • New informal learning and quiet study spaces
  • A multi-faith area
  • A new cafeteria space for staff and students
  • Landscaping to the communal courtyard gardens 

This project was IOTA’s second involvement at City, University of London; the previous being an external courtyard garden in Northampton Square itself.
