--- title: Fenton Holloway Ltd | University of Leeds MSCP description: Fenton Holloway designed the impressive University Of Leeds MSCP building featuring 756 identically shaped aluminium panels to create a spectacular design. --- # University Of Leeds Get in touch ## 756 Identically Shaped Aluminium Panels The spectacular envelope of the Leeds University MSCP uses a total of 756 identically shaped aluminium panels to simulate the undulating “free-form” shape envisaged by the architect. Our experience in FE structural analysis and complex 3D-modelling allowed us to design and detail all the elements of the envelope, including the hyperbolic paraboloid panels and the entire supporting substructure. ![University Of Leeds Long 1](https://www.fentonholloway.com/hubfs/University%20Of%20Leeds%20Long%201.webp "University Of Leeds Long 1") ![University Of Leeds Square 1 ](https://www.fentonholloway.com/hubfs/University%20Of%20Leeds%20Square%201%20.webp "University Of Leeds Square 1 ") ![University-Of-Leeds-Square-4](https://www.fentonholloway.com/hubfs/University-Of-Leeds-Square-4.webp "University-Of-Leeds-Square-4") [ Download Our Brochure ](https://www.fentonholloway.com/download-your-free-brochure) ![University Of Leeds Long 2](https://www.fentonholloway.com/hs-fs/hubfs/University%20Of%20Leeds%20Long%202.webp?width=500&height=700&name=University%20Of%20Leeds%20Long%202.webp "University Of Leeds Long 2") ## An Impressive 25m Tall The ground level of the 25m-tall building is covered by a tensioned mesh greenwall system which was also designed by Fenton Holloway. With a total envelope area of over 4000m2, this innovative façade required a close collaboration with the specialist façade contractor to develop a simple, easy-to-build system, which also achieved the distinct aesthetic effect which was sought by the architect. ![University Of Leeds Square 2](https://www.fentonholloway.com/hubfs/University%20Of%20Leeds%20Square%202.webp "University Of Leeds Square 2") ![University Of Leeds Square 3 (1)](https://www.fentonholloway.com/hubfs/University%20Of%20Leeds%20Square%203%20(1).webp "University Of Leeds Square 3 (1)") [ Get In Touch ](https://www.fentonholloway.com/contact) [ Portfolio ](https://www.fentonholloway.com/structural-engineering-design-projects) ## Related Projects ### Redcar Seafront Beacon Fenton Holloway developed and detailed the support steelwork and coloured aluminium panel system forming freeform ribbon spirals which swirl up Redcar Seafront’s Beacon structure.
