Introduction:

The new core of the university city of Groningen is a "culture department store." NL Architects designed the building, which opened in the autumn of 2019. The gigantic structure provides a entirely new combination of cultural activities including libraries, cinemas, and museums.
 

Problem:

The main challenge was to have neutrality and energy conservation alongside mechanical and thermal resistance.

 

Solution:

The functional glass COOL-LITE SKN 176, along with SGG PLANITHERM, ensures neutrality and great energy efficiency. SECURIT glass is much more resistant to mechanical and thermal stresses than normal annealed glass.
 

We care about building better.
