The Challenge

Coleg Gwent, one of Wales’s largest further education colleges, required an entrance solution for its Crosskeys Campus that would suit high student footfall, while also maintaining security and energy efficiency. We’d like to extend a massive thank you to Total Facade Systems Limited for getting in touch with us to help with with the entrance. Some of the specifications of the door was that it needed to:

Handle a constant stream of students, staff, and visitors.

Reduce heat loss from the building, supporting sustainability goals.

Provide a smart, modern look in keeping with the campus environment.

The college also wanted a solution that was user-friendly and durable, without the complexity of a fully automated system in this location.

Our Solution

After consultation, the Prosale team recommended a manual orbit door system. Orbit doors are ideal for high-traffic areas like colleges because they:

Allow smooth pedestrian flow while controlling drafts and energy loss.

Offer a stylish, professional appearance.

Require minimal maintenance compared to some automated alternatives.

The manual orbit was tailored to fit the Crosskeys Campus entrance space, ensuring both functionality and visual appeal. Our installation team worked closely with the college to ensure minimal disruption to day-to-day activities during fitting.

The Outcome

The new manual orbit door has quickly become an asset to the Crosskeys Campus. Students and staff now benefit from:

Improved accessibility – easy to use and navigate, even during peak times.

Better energy efficiency – reduced heat loss through the entrance.

A welcoming, modern look – enhancing the college’s front-facing appearance.

Coleg Gwent now has a robust entrance solution that supports both their practical needs and long-term sustainability objectives.
