Wanting to use a rainscreen cladding effect to create an

innovative and contemporary design, architects RPS chose

Fireborn large format clay blocks on Aston Brain Centre at

Aston University, Birmingham, to create the effect whilst

keeping within budget constraints.

Fireborn Natural Blue and Fireborn Natural Cream in 440 x 215mm units

were used. Because of the complexity of the project, Ibstock’s Contract

Management Service worked closely with both the architect and contractor

throughout the design and build process to ensure the products were

delivered efficiently and on time. The use of Fireborn has become increasingly

popular on public buildings due to its ability to create a modern contemporary

finish without compromising durability.
