Tent stakes

Article Abstract:

The first phase of Haggerston Castle's rennovation into a major holiday resort was completed in Sum 1991. It is based in Northumbria, UK. It involved covering the courtyard connecting the remaining 2, 19th century buildings into an amusement arcade and theatre bar area. Structural engineers John Bratherton and Partners designed a roof using a mixture of glulam, steel amd tensile fabric. Curtain walling allows maximum natural light. The next phase includes conversion of the tower and theatre. Project cost is estimated to be 750,000 pounds sterling. The centre is owned by Bourne Leisure Group.

Hanging together

Article Abstract:

The UK recession has eroded business for the suspended ceiling and partition industries by 40% since 1990. A merger of the 2 trade associations, the Partitioning Industry Association and the Suspended Ceilings Association is supported by many. Membership of the 2 associations is decreasing and it is unlikely that the construction industry needs 2 such separate bodies. The main arguments supporting the merger are that most companies would secure better on-site control and that business interests could be diversified. Opponents claim that a merger would encourage poor workmanship.
