Fusion and exchange

The Fusion building of Bournemouth University has been designed to intensify the exchange between teaching, research and the business world and is the new flagship academic building on the campus. The site used to be an old car park in the middle of the campus. Now facilities, which were once dispersed over different locations, have been brought together in one place. As the area around the building was already occupied on two sides, Fusion 1 is a ‘building with no back’.
Fusion 1 is built on a concrete frame rising from the ground and a steel frame descending from the roof. The walls inside are plasterboard and thus allow flexibility for future changes. Concrete columns support the structure. The striking exterior design is a pristine interplay of black, white and grey.

White ALUCOBOND^® cladding provides fresh modernity alongside the grey zinc. The balconies are arranged in an irregular manner and break up the design of the facade.

The university wanted to make a clear statement of its “green” commitment. In order to save on energy costs, 200 m² of photovoltaic panels have been installed on the roof and 11 ground source heat pumps driven into the ground. Triple glazed windows avoid energy loss.

Sustainability was an important consideration not only in the design but in the choice of materials as well. Zinc and ALUCOBOND^® are eco-friendly materials. The building has achieved a BREEAM excellent status.
