Intended to support the creative and media industries, the 18,000m2 building is on a site in the city’s Eastside - one of the largest regeneration zones in the UK - and will provide an important part of the planning jigsaw that makes up Birmingham’s Big City Plan.
Associated Architects drew up plans for the five-floor building, designed around an inner atrium. It will house state-of-the-art media facilities such as television and photographic studios. The new building, which will face the proposed scenic city centre park, will be also used to house public art displays.
TM was approached to provide cladding solutions for the window reveals and a multi-coloured strip around the bottom of the building. Not only did we deliver materials that allowed the architects’ vision to become a reality, but substantial cost savings were delivered, too.
Taylor Maxwell is part of the team creating the new £43million Birmingham Institute of Art and Design - a purpose-built, city-centre facility to house the world-class provision offered by Birmingham City University.

Initially, the plans called for pre-cast concrete to be used in the window reveals. Meanwhile, a strip of brickwork around the bottom of the building required a mix of five different colours.
When we were approached, we immediately suggested the Corium brick cladding system. This immediately saved costs on the project as it negated the need for the pre-cast concrete around the windows. Corium was also suggested for the strip as laying this traditionally would have been costly and time-consuming.
Some 2,700m2 of Corium were ordered from us, which will be delivered from August 2012 in just three or four batches.
Ben Reaney, from main contractor Willmott Dixon, says the Corium solution offered “significant savings” to the use of pre-cast concrete.
Working in partnership with“This wasn’t a hard job for us,” says Adam Casey in the TM Birmingham office. “The Corium option was a good, speedy, competitive, lightweight solution for the whole job.
“We were asked for options and delivered a solution. We will begin delivery soon and look forward to this fantastic new project opening in 2013.”
