Mohammed VI Polytechnic University
Marocco, Africa
Vicaima was selected to supply the interior doors for the new Science and Technology complex at the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P). Various brand solutions were implemented in the classrooms, corridors, halls and common spaces with the aim of creating an ideal learning ambiance, in line with the project’s basic concept.
To meet this demand, a multitude of Portaro® solutions were incorporated - a set comprising door, frame and accessories in a single piece, with special emphasis on the Portaro® Inverse - a concept that allows the door to be faced with the frame or panels, thereby creating a seamless, rectilinear surface.
Considering this is an educational project, fire protection is essential and is guaranteed by the Portaro® FD30 and FD30 double action solutions, the latter designed to facilitate circulation between spaces. Comfort and concentration were also taken into account, with the installation of the Portaro® FD30 AC33dB and EI30 AC35dB Inverse fire resistant and acoustic solutions, which ensure acoustic insulation of up to 33 and 35 decibels, respectively.
In the common areas, some solutions include glazing, permitting the entrance of natural light - a scientifically proven factor which influences the student’s learning - in a singular architectural design, where the central courtyard ensures lighting and ventilation in all rooms.
The choice of the coating was based on the sobriety, high resistance and durability of Dekordor® HD Colours Volcanic Grey.
