TECHNAL UK are pleased to announce that we are sponsoring the AJ Retrofit Awards category for Higher and Further Education. This covers Higher or Further Edcuation buildings including universities, colleges, 6th form and other institutions. All projects shortlisted show the excellent design expertise behind the vital renewal and repurposing of existing buildings.

For projects in the education sector there are aims and targets that must be met to ensure it meets the needs of students and staff and supports the learning process. The design and specification of the external building envelope can have a significant contribution to achieving these aims.

A look ahead to the new aluminium systems we'll be launching in 2021 seems a positive way to end what has been a life-changing year. Here, Allan Barr, TECHNAL UK Sales Director rounds up our 2020 developments and indicates what's coming up next year.

Dortech Architectural Systems has worked with TECHNAL for more than two decades on a wide range of projects. Here Dortech’s Group Managing Director, James Sutherland explains what has made this such a long-lasting partnership.

From the 4th to the 8th of November 2019, we took 42 of our fabrication and specification customers to BATIMAT in Paris, for a sneak preview of our 2020 key product launches. With a stand designed by Italian architect Stefano Boeri who was selected due to his portfolio of work that links his architectural programmes with the vegetal sphere, our corporate ambition was reflected - to achieve unification between sustainable solutions and the built environment.

2019 saw Technal launch the World Architecture Technal Awards (WATA) recognising beautiful aluminium for projects worldwide.
