University Train Station

The Project

The facilities available include, new toilets, space for an NHS facility, ticket office, indoor seating, customer information screens, shops and refreshment areas.

DCL’s scope from Volker Fitzpatrick was to build Partitions to conform with the demanding fire and acoustic requirements that Network Rail require. Most walls are hidden behind the fabulous stonework, that gives a dramatic effect when walking through the station.

The stone is only for aesthetics, while the partitions are there for functional reasons. There are 2-hour fire rated risers, blast proof walls, acoustically constructed meeting rooms, robust and impact resistant built customer toilets with tamper proof access hatches, and retail areas with demanding fire boundaries requiring the utmost integrity. This was a complex project., and the result is a state-of-the-art train station that will stand the test of time.
