CC Cares Facility ACT

CC Cares @ Canberra College is an educational facility for pregnant and parenting students from the ACT and surrounding districts.

When designing the building, ACT based Architects May Russell were looking for a window solution that would provide a means of ventilation for the users that could easily connect with the building’s building management system (BMS).

While louvre windows in education facilities have in the past been avoided due to perceived issues of safety and security, May Russell were confident that Safetyline Jalousie louvre windows would be suitable for this project. They had recently specified them in another project and were familiar with the safety and security features of the windows.

When it came to meeting the requirements for this project, Safetyline Jalousie louvre windows ticked all of the architect’s boxes:

• they could be operated manually or automated;
• if left open, the security of the building would not be compromised;
• they had good tight seals which supported the air conditioning and removed any fear of air leakage; and
• they coupled nicely within another commercially available window suite system used throughout the building.
