Project Overview

This 121-year-old factory in Birmingham’s Eastside had stood derelict since a fire in 2007. Over its life it made bicycles, linen clothing, bedsteads and pianos.

The building has now been redeveloped to house community and business growth activities across science, technology, engineering, arts and maths. TPS360 installed 1350m² of Rapid Set TRU® PC, a hydraulic cement-based topping ground and polished to give the look of polished concrete.

The floor’s light reflectivity helped turn the historic building into a modern creative and office space.
