Green Center Kaufbeuren
Sustainable architecture combined with sustainable technology and sustainable building materials
The Green Center Kaufbeuren combines several facilities under one roof: the Office for Food, Agriculture and Forestry, the agricultural college and the only state technical school for nutrition and supply management in Bavaria. Thanks to detailed planning, it was possible to create a timber construction that meets all the criteria of the passive house standard, despite the very different requirements for the individual building sections. As the new building is located in a commercial area, a surface structure for the façade was chosen that mirrors that of the surrounding area. The trapezoidal strips of the façade elements were painted green on the flanks. Together with a mix of rough-sawn and planed surfaces, this creates a lively aesthetic, which is reminiscent of a trapezoidal sheet metal surface, but is made of spruce. Wood also dominates the interior of the building. For example, LIGNO® Acoustic Light elements made of knotty spruce were used on the ceilings. The choice of a classic knotty wood variant in the form of acoustic panels not only ensures optimum room sound, but also characterizes the room landscape with its strong appearance. The result is a cozy, inviting atmosphere.

Components used
![]( "|")
LIGNO® Akustik light | Acoustic cladding
Produktkode: LIGNO® Akustik light 3S_33_a70g_nnu_625-18-6_FI-ä_gs_bl-w20Wood type
Various wood species are available for the visible layer. For quality reasons, individual wood species cannot be configured for all profiles; for technical reasons, surface treatments are excluded for some wood species.
Wood type
_FI-ä Spruce with knots, A quality
Profile
The visible layer is profiled with joints. The code for profiling indicates in millimetres: Element width, strip width (rounded, from/to if applicable) and joint width (rounded) as well as a letter identification for variants, e.g. with chamfered strip edges or with additional height gradation.Note: Some profiles indirectly cause exclusions for other configuration options.
Profile
_625-18-6 Slat profile
Structure
The face is subjected to a brushing _gb as standard, which produces a stronger or weaker structure depending on the type of wood and makes the surface less sensitive to scratches. Alternatively, a smooth sanding _gs can be carried out, or on request a bandsaw cut _grimitated.
Structure
_gs Sanded
Treatment
Depending on the type of wood, the optional application of a surface treatment is possible ex works. Individual colour finishes are always sampled for coordination. For elements in individual lengths, colour treatment is limited to max. 5 m length.
Treatment
_bl-w20 Lacquer white
Room acoustics
If the soffit of the element is to have a good sound-absorbing effect, the penultimate layer is configured as absorber _a50g. Otherwise, this layer is configured as a solid wood layer _a0.
Room acoustics
_a70g 70 % Absorber
