Top Marks for Falco at the New £45m Bayes Centre at the University of Edinburgh
23-11-2018

These are the new FalcoLevel-Premium+ two-tier cycle racks recently manufactured, supplied and installed for the largest cycle park in Scotland at the new £45m Bayes Centre for data and technology excellence at the University of Edinburgh!

The new £45 million Bayes Centre at the University of Edinburgh was officially opened by Her Royal Highness, The Princess Royal, on the 23rd October.

Part of the development included a 382 space underground cycle park that also featured showers and changing facilities for cyclists.

The university wanted to make the most of the space available and worked closely with Falco to agree upon a design that would allow for the most numbers of spaces within the space restraints of the underground facility. A layout of 362 spaces utilising the UK’s leading two-tier cycle rack, the FalcoLevel-Premium+, was agreed upon to provide double the amount of spaces compared to any traditional series of Sheffield Stands or cycle racks.

Falco provided the client with free site surveys, free CAD design as well as full manufacture, supply and installation of the cycle hub.

In addition to the cycle park shown here, Falco had previously worked with the university at another site and had provided the FalcoLevel Premium+ as a solution for both enhancing cycle spaces and increasing durability. Falco is delighted to be working in partnership with the University and will be installing 63 VelowUp! Cycle racks at another campus early next month!
