Tobermore provided a modern solution with the specification of Artro and Fusion small format block paving, creating a sleek and contemporary outdoor space for the new innovation centre. These versatile products delivered a durable, functional, and visually striking environment designed to last.
Sitting on a 52-hectare site, the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District Scotland (AMIDS) is a collaborative project led by Renfrewshire Council and supported by the Scottish Government and Scottish Enterprise. Based within this impressive development sits the Medicines Manufacturing Innovation Centre. The £88 million centre unites top-tier science and technology expertise under one roof, aiming to expedite innovative solutions for major challenges in medicine development and manufacturing. Hard landscaping was required for the space, that would provide both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
While the entire project is projected for completion by 2034, AMIDS is set to become an internationally recognised centre for innovation, research, and manufacturing.
Small format, contemporary hard landscaping product was required for the modern innovation centre.
The new medicines manufacturing centre is set to revolutionise the field of medicine by accelerating solutions in medicine development and manufacturing which is being supported by £88m from public and private partners. Optimised Environments wanted to introduce a modern touch to the hard landscaping for this project. They sought a small format product that would create a contemporary feel while also adding texture to the space. As this was the first phase of a public realm project within a larger masterplan, it was crucial to choose a product that would endure well over time.
Tobermore’s Artro and Fusion block paving transformed the outdoor space into a contemporary environment for the innovative new centre
With Tobermore’s support throughout the process, Optimised Environments seamlessly specified Artro and Fusion small format block paving. These versatile block paving products significantly enhanced the outdoor area, turning it into a contemporary and inviting environment for the innovative new centre. These products achieved a space that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing, ensuring durability for years to come. The variety of textures and patterns available in the Artro and Fusion ranges allowed for a creative and dynamic layout, adding to the overall aesthetic of the centre while meeting the practical needs of high foot traffic and outdoor elements.
Ensuring that all materials arrived on schedule without delays was crucial for this project to adhere to the strict time frame. Tobermore was able to meet these expectations and provide seamless service support throughout the entirety of the project.
"We recently used Artro on our project at the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District. It is the first bit of public realm for a wider master plan. We used Artro exclusively throughout the project and I have to say it is by far my favourite concrete product out there. It is contemporary and wears well. It has been down a year now and it is still fantastic. I plan to use Artro on other projects as well."
