The Centre for Future Learning is the largest teaching facility on the campus, 11,580 square metres. It is built of reinforced concrete elements on a 19-metre steel frame and clad in stone; it includes a 300-seat lecture hall, classrooms, a 550 square metre training area and a large communal atrium.

Valsir contributes the Blackfire system, used in this case for rainwater drainage.

What it shows for a Finnish project

In a teaching building the fire class of the waste pipe is part of the escape safety. BLACKFIRE is the black three-layer polypropylene waste and rainwater system: below 10 dB(A) at 2 l/s (EN 14366) and fire class B1 (DIN 4102-1), self-extinguishing, without separate insulation.
