Heart of Innovation

Cardiff University has made a £300m investment in their innovation Campus, promoting Cardiff University’s role as a centre of innovation, and will be an important element in the city-region’s landscape.

The element of Innovation was an important factor when sourcing products for BDP Architects therefore AG’s Plaza paving was the standout choice. Manufactured using the highest quality granite and quartz aggregates and the wide range of colours and sizes make it the perfect tool for creating innovative hard landscaping designs in large urban schemes that require both style and longevity.

Cardiff University teamed up with Bouygues UK Limited, a leading construction company with a track record in urban regeneration, to develop the new buildings which are located at Maindy Park in the heart of Cardiff. With over £80,000 worth of paving and flagstones supplied to the Cardiff site, lead times were an important aspect when also selecting AG products.

AG plaza is created using a water-based process that’s unique in this price range, giving it a more vibrant exposed face and a rich, modern look ideal for the innovation campus.
