Microsoft Campus, Reading

Award toilet cubicles were specified in High Pressure Laminate (HPL) in our popular Noir finish, for a timeless look. Thanks to its scratch and heatproof properties, HPL is a well suited material for busy washrooms such as those at Microsoft Campus. HPL’s smooth surface also meant surfaces would be easy to keep clean, so that sanitary levels are kept high.

Emergency release indicator bolts come as standard on our Award* toilet cubicle range, which is an ideal safety feature for high footfall washrooms. In the event of an emergency, doors can be safely unlocked from the outside without damaging the locks or cubicles.

Our made to measure metal framed washroom panelling system, Frameduct, was specified in matching Noir HPL for the WCs and urinals. With Frameduct, all duct space is concealed and can be accessed by opening the secure access panels that are on 90° linear bearing hinges - this makes for simple ongoing maintenance.

Microsoft Campus specified our durable K4 profile HPL vanity units for their washroom renovation project. With a very specific vanity unit design requirement, the client selected a non-standard wood effect laminate and also chose to customise the design with a deeper downstand. The modern vessel basins and deck mounted sensor taps completed the overall contemporary design of the new office washrooms.

The washroom experience is significant to the overall workplace experience and is critical to providing the feeling of care and comfort to employees. We’re pleased our washroom systems helped Microsoft deliver staff toilets that met the brief.
