City, University of London, 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, where IOTA’s Boulevard planters were supplied.
