Replacement headquarters and manufacturing facility for Airedale International Air Conditioning at Rawdon, Leeds.
The purpose-built complex was developed following the major fire that destroyed much of Airedale's previous facility in 2013.
The new facility combined manufacturing, research and development, product testing, training and office accommodation within a major industrial development.
My Role
Architectural Technologist and project team member while employed by Darnton B3.
What I Contributed
Worked as part of the architectural delivery team producing and coordinating Revit-based technical information for the new facility.
The project provided experience of a technically complex industrial environment combining large-scale manufacturing requirements with specialist R&D/testing areas and conventional workplace accommodation.
Why This Project Matters
Airedale broadened my experience beyond residential and retail work into large-scale industrial and specialist technical environments.
