We were approached by Loughborough University to design and install two tensile fabric canopy structures at their Creative Arts Centre, creating attractive, covered seating areas to encourage outdoor dining and social use throughout the year.

The first installation utilised our Virgo tensile fabric canopy, one of our pre-designed tensile fabric structures, which proved ideal for this application. The structure’s design allows the supporting legs to be positioned away from the existing building foundations, making it a highly practical solution for retrofit environments. In addition, the canopy requires relatively small foundations for the level of coverage it provides, reducing groundworks and minimising disruption on site.

This type of commercial canopy structure is particularly suited to universities, schools and hospitality environments, where durable, low-maintenance and weather-resistant outdoor canopy systems are essential for year-round use in UK conditions.

A second bespoke tensile fabric canopy was also installed, designed specifically to integrate with the existing building. This custom fabric canopy structure demonstrates our ability to deliver tailored solutions where standard systems are not suitable, ensuring seamless connection and effective all-weather outdoor coverage
