Manchester Cancer Research Centre

Designed by Wilson Mason Architects, the Manchester

Cancer Research Centre (MCRC) is a state of the art

research facility, home to 150 researchers.

The iconic public facing facility has been designed with

an integrated environmental approach. With features

such as 85% natural ventilation and rainwater harvesting,

the project has earned an ‘Excellent’ BREEAM rating.

Allgood were asked to supply an ironmongery

package that could reflect the sustainable approach,

whilst catering for the building’s high performance

requirements.

With the MCRC being a partnership between The

Christie, Cancer Research UK and the University

of Manchester, there is frequent traffic of users. It

was therefore imperative that Allgood supplied an

ironmongery package that would perform to the highest

standard. The package was delivered in a co-ordinated

stainless steel finish to match the clean aesthetic of

the building’s interior. In addition, Modric lever and pull

handles were fitted on the internal doors, providing a

durable and high quality product that provides a ten year

warranty.

All of the stainless steel door fittings supplied are

manufactured from 62% recycled materials, of which

95% can be recycled at the end of the products life.

Manufactured in our factory in Birmingham, the Modric

products supplied enabled lower carbon emissions

through a shorter supply chain, contributing to the

‘Excellent’ BREEAM rating of the building.
