The Kingswood Institute of Applied Technology in Penrith, Sydney provides first-class training rooms for the construction industry. Metal ceiling systems were chosen for this new-build project. These satisfy the functional requirements while also providing a visually compelling design.
Various different expanded metal ceilings are being used in this building: black, blue and grey ceiling panels promote a good atmosphere for concentrated work in the classrooms and meeting rooms while light-grey shades in the public areas convey open-ness and a sense of spaciousness. The training rooms were equipped with lively yellow powder-coated expanded metal panels. The inconspicuous S1 slip-in system used in the corridors creates a visual sense of precision and of straight lines.
Outside the building, a special version the wind-proofed S7 EXTERIOR rail channel system blends seamlessly into the industrial design of the building while also complementing its modern architecture.
