Western Thermal Limited is to deliver insulation work on a renovation project at Coventry University.

The former BT building in Mile Lane is being refurbished into a new cutting-edge learning hub for its students and faculty. It will house up to 3,000 students and faculties, with features including teaching rooms, IT suites, engineering and science labs, as well a café and extensive breakout areas for more social learning. Wilmott Dixon will deliver the scheme.

Thermal insulation will be provided to the pipework and ductwork services from Western Thermal under a £180,000 contract.

The company will work alongside NG Bailey to complete the work.


Speaking about the prestigious project, Phil Jones, Executive Director – Operations at Western Thermal, said: "We are delighted to be working with Coventry University on what promises to be an exciting project.
