Project for
Citadel
The Citadel project will see a historic area of Carlisle repurposed into a new flagship campus for the University of Cumbria.
A ‘castle project’, this architecturally beautiful building includes historic features such as landmark turrets that form the gateway to the city. As such a unique scheme OFR is deploying its expertise in heritage to evolve an appropriate fire engineering solution.
"This is such a unique scheme; the building and its turrets are architecturally beautiful and a rare starting point for any project. We are certainly having to think outside of the box with our fire engineering solution."
