Built responsibly.
Designed for tomorrow.

Creating future-ready schools starts with making responsible choices today.

As educational buildings face increasing demands around sustainability, durability and performance, architects and municipalities are looking for materials that contribute to long-lasting, low-maintenance learning environments.

Made from basalt, an abundant natural resource, Rockpanel façade boards are designed for durability and circularity. Their long lifespan, low maintenance requirements and recyclability help support more sustainable educational buildings, whether through renovation or new build.

Our renewed School Brochure showcases inspiring projects from across Europe where sustainability, design freedom and performance come together to create learning environments fit for future generations.

Discover how schools across Europe are building for tomorrow.

De Magistraat, an apartment building situated on the edge of the renovated centre of Heerlerheide, one of the largest suburbs of Heerlen, has recently been the centre of all attention. A cleverly designed facade gives the L-shaped building two distinct characters. The sleek and modern stucco facade facing the street is more formal in its appearance. Whereas the facade facing the green inner area is rather lively and warm thanks to the Rockpanel Colours facade cladding in three striking shades of yellow.
