It is now 11 years Since the opening of the St. Enoch’s Centre The bold columns stretching 20 plus metres into roof space. This challenging height for the subcontractors did not compromise the superb finish to the Interactive casting situated throughout the building. And they will look as good now as they did when they were first installed.

Roof Space
In construction columns stretch into the roof space.
Night-time from outside
Looking from the outside at night it contrasts with the older building next door. But still you realise your in for a treat.
View from outside of St. Enoch's
The outside of St. Enoch’s gives just a small taste of what awaits inside.
Slim, elegant and discreet, Interactive castings VS Bold, brash and conspicuous Secondary cladding
It would be easy to mistake the secondary cladding for part of the casting contract except when you get inside and see the joint line for the cladding fixings.
Clear View
No joints interfere with this panoramic view of this Glasgow retail Centre.
The message of invitation clear to all. Who could refuse a look inside.
Column Quality
For cleaners and maintenance staff alike, looking after the Interactive Columns could not be easier. No joints to wipe no difficult maintenance to take out that secondary cladding scratch or scuff and then not very successfully. Interactive columns are the most robust system of fire protection with high decoration on the market.
Whether it is Retail, Catering or Sightseeing, walk around and sample this spacious centre which is complimented by the foresight of the designers who used slim casting resulting in a spacious and beautiful shopping experience.
