Case Studies
Falco has successfully completed the design, manufacture and installation of a high-capacity cycle parking scheme for the University of Oxford’s Global Health Building in Headington.
The installation features FalcoLevel-Premium+ XL two-tier cycle racks, designed to maximise cycle parking provision within a compact internal space. In total, the scheme accommodates up to 150 bicycles, helping to support the University’s active travel infrastructure and provide secure, efficient cycle parking for building users.
For this project, the FalcoLevel-Premium+ XL system was configured with Sheffield Stands on the lower level instead of traditional lower cycle channels. This provides a flexible and familiar parking option at ground level, while the upper tier delivers additional capacity through the premium assisted two-tier system.
The FalcoLevel-Premium+ upper racks are designed to provide a smooth and user-friendly experience, with premium handles and gas strut assistance helping to make parking a bicycle on the upper level easier and more controlled. This makes the system particularly suitable for busy campus environments where durability, accessibility and ease of use are essential.
As part of the scheme, Falco also installed two e-bike charging arms, enabling up to four e-bikes to be charged while parked at the Sheffield Stands on the lower level. Finished in a distinctive bright green, the charging arms add valuable e-mobility functionality to the cycle park, helping to meet the growing demand for electric cycle provision.
This latest installation follows a number of previous Falco projects for the University of Oxford, including e-bike cycle parking at the Castle Mill Graduate Housing Complex and smart cycle infrastructure designed to support active travel and e-mobility across the University estate.
The Global Health Building project highlights Falco’s ability to deliver tailored cycle parking solutions for higher education environments, combining high-capacity two-tier parking, Sheffield Stand provision and integrated e-bike charging within one carefully designed installation.
Falco continues to work with universities, local authorities, transport operators and commercial clients across the UK to deliver cycle parking schemes that support sustainable travel and respond to the changing needs of modern cyclists.
Falco has been a family company with its own production site for over 70 years. Sustainability was in our DNA from the very beginning and this is reflected within our complete range of modular cycle parking and shelter products, all designed with full circularity in mind.
All products ranges are contemporary and durable, typical of a Falco product. Falco has been at the forefront of the cycle parking and street furniture market and has built up a renowned reputation for manufacturing products that exceed in both design and durability.
Falco’s operations have supported the Circular Economy for many years, simply manufacturing products with environmentally friendly products, that can last for decades and at the end of the product life can be 100% recycled and manufactured back into a brand new product.
