To welcome their new 2019/20 academic year students, Nottingham Trent University (NTU) are opening in September 2019 a $28m state-of-the-art engineering building to create 'the engineers of the future'.

The new building, located on their Clifton Campus, includes various engineering labs, workshops, and studios to house the new intake of students. NTU have said that the new facilities will support the universities new courses such as biomedical, electronic and mechanical engineering that have been specifically created to meet the industry's current skill gaps.

"It will enable us to be at the heart of developments in the emerging 'Industry 4.0' agenda in terms of education and skills training, as well as knowledge transfer and knowledge development and research."

NTU decided on FTF Group to supply their Multi-Service Radiant Panels (MSRP's) to provide energy-efficient heating, acoustic sound absorption and factory fitted LED lighting throughout the building.

Using a combination of Radiant Panel and MSCB technology, FTF Group's Acoustic, Lighting and Heating Rafts, otherwise known as MSRP's are not only visually stunning room features, these MSRP units are also both energy-efficient and extremely effective. These free-hanging radiant heating panels have LED lighting, acoustic sound absorbing properties and integrated lighting control with PIR lighting sensors.

FTF Group's MSRP units are an ideal solution for Universities as other services can be incorporated such as apertures for sprinkler heads, PA and VA speakers, PIR, Photocells and other building services such as compartment trunking and lighting control which are 100% prefabricated off-site in a controlled factory environment.

Virtually any type of lighting solution can be accommodated within FTF Group's MSRP units such as direct only, indirect only, and a combination of both direct and indirect either from the same light source or a different source altogether. The performance testing of our heating, lighting and acoustic solutions are carried out at FTF Group's in-house Climatic, Photometric and Acoustic Laboratories at our Pride Park facility and HQ in Derby, United Kingdom.
