30 Euston Square is a stunning Grade II* Listed building dating back to 1906. It has a grand Victorian façade with an original Greek revival style entrance hall and internally is full of ornate architectural details. Maintaining the legacy of the health related professionals who have occupied the building since it was constructed; in 2010 it was acquired by the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP), who took up the tumultuous task of refurbishing and upgrading its spaces. The RCGP is the largest medical Royal College with over 52,000 members, supporting trainees and GPs alike on key issues relating to their profession.
Selectaglaze has a long standing relationship with RCGP and has carried out a number of installations to different areas of the building over the years. The relationship began in 2010, when the new owners decided it was necessary to undertake works to reduce noise ingress on the façade overlooking the Euston Road. To make it more attractive for the users of the space, it was decided to treat them with secondary glazing. Side hung casements were specified and installed which meant full access was maintained for cleaning and maintenance of the roof lights and also gave an uninterrupted view of the original glazing.
Again, on the same façade, on a few of the lower floors there are study rooms where GP members can stay when they are on College business. Secondary glazing has been installed to prevent noise from passing traffic. A mixture of units was installed, including vertical and horizontal sliding units and side hung casements.
In 2012/2013, Selectaglaze returned to install secondary glazing to other areas of the building, which were either used for RCGP staff or as tenanted office areas. These were mainly overlooking Euston Square and a few of the study bedrooms towards the rear of the building.
In 2016 Selectaglaze was approached to install secondary glazing to areas of the RGCP building on Stephenson Way and Euston Street to help combat any noise from the neighbouring building work. Works were carried out over a number of floors to a vast number of openings, creating quiet reflective spaces for those working in the offices. All units specified grant access to the primary windows, to enable the maintenance and cleaning.
