PROJECT SUMMARY

We were delighted to be awarded the interior fit-out package for the Inverness Justice Centre; a striking, modern, purpose built Justiciary building which serves the Highlands and Islands community.

We carried out the drylining, installed suspended ceilings, acoustic baffles, and wall panelling.

Fundamentally, our team was also tasked with providing bespoke timber slat pyramid ceiling arrangements within the four larger courtrooms. Taking a concept design brief and developing it, we provided striking ceiling features rising 10m high which also enhanced acoustic performance.

The construction of the internal walls and linings used acoustic and robust drylining partition systems to meet high value specifications to the exacting standards of the architects’ design.

Suspended ceiling elements were split into categories complementing the walls and which were specific to the zone layout of the facility. SAS ceiling systems 150/330 were utilised to provide accessible points for service installations and maintenance to meeting rooms and offices. Security access options were installed to Custody areas, associated offices and corridors. General offices and meeting rooms were further enhanced with the installation of Ecophon acoustic Solo hanging baffles and wall panelling. This made it aesthetically pleasing as well as satisfying the acoustic challenges necessary for the operational aspects within the building.

Main circulation corridors also saw the installation of SAS System 710 linear box profiles. This spanned between corridor walls to provide a pleasing look, and to allow for clear means of maintenance access into the heavily serviced void.
