University of Education Salzburg

Riccione Architekten's work at the Salzburg University of Education is rationally aesthetic. Inside, colour and grid play with each other. Associations can be found with modern pictorial art, for example by Mondrian or Malevich. The room elements intertwine through the use of black, red and white. The concrete ceiling grid matches with the Forbo Marmoleum Modular tile flooring. The accents in the floor match with the similarly coloured rows of seats and the, thus consistently using the Marmoleum flooring as an architectural element throughout the building project.

Michael Reiter, FOX Boden Managing Director:
"With Forbo Flooring we have a reliable business partner since years, one of the leading manufacturers of the market thanks to product innovations and fabulous product quality. Marmoleum Modular tiles were particularly easy for us to work with, as they could be laid without grouting and there were almost no limits to the design possibilities in terms of colour. In addition, Marmoleum Modular is PVC-free and therefore also ideally suited for environmentally conscious builders. Thanks to the modular system, the linoleum floor is very easy to renovate in the event of punctual damage and, thanks to the high-quality Topshield 2 surface, it is very resistant, stainproof and extremely easy to clean. This is an enormous advantage, especially when used in highly frequented areas, such as the Pädagogische Hochschule in Salzburg, and represents a significant cost saving for the building owner in terms of maintenance cleaning and renovation".
