A Company Well Connected
The James Weir Building, the third-largest facility on the University of Strathclyde’s John Anderson Campus in Glasgow, houses three departments within the Faculty of Engineering: Chemical and Process Engineering, Design, Manufacture & Engineering Management, and Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering. With a capacity of over 650 students at any one time, the building plays a central role in the university’s teaching and research activities.
Following a devastating fire on 7th February 2012 that affected six floors of the building, temporary facilities were provided across local cinemas and campus buildings to ensure minimal disruption to students’ studies. HF was proud to contribute to the restoration works, delivering critical electrical services to return the building to full operation.
