We’re thrilled to be part of the incredible Daphne Steele Building project at the University of Huddersfield. This isn’t just any building – it’s home to the National Health Innovation Campus, which aims to improve health outcomes and drive innovation in healthcare locally and globally.

This first-of-its-kind building is built to WELL Platinum standard, designed to prioritise the health and well-being of everyone who steps inside.

So, how does Leaflike fit in?

We’re bringing the outdoors in! Our team installed stunning preserved moss walls to transform this vibrant space, enhancing well-being and boosting productivity. 

Fire Safety First: How We Won the Project

Stringent fire safety standards at the University, especially for their grand atrium, required potential suppliers to prove their green walls wouldn’t compromise these strict criteria. We’re proud that our fire-rated preserved moss (yes, fire-rated!) came out on top – attaining an outstanding rating of B-s1-d0. This was a key reason Leaflike were selected to deliver this renowned project, showing that we make things beautiful and safe.

Why This Project Matters

At Leaflike, we champion holistic design, where environmental impact is considered from the beginning. This project perfectly aligns with our commitment to creating healthy and sustainable spaces. The Daphne Steele Building exemplifies this ethos with green walls and nature-inspired elements integral to its design, highlighting the University’s dedication to a healthy and innovative campus.
