SSPU LAB

The new school building adds playfulness to a straightforward set-up.  

VMX Architects won 1st price for the international competition for two new buildings for the Shanghai Second Polytechnic University (SSPU).

The Training Lab makes through its compact form a big public square in front of it possible. This can be used for outside working, but is also perfectly suited for events like the graduation ceremony. The Training Lab contains all the different labs in a very flexible to use silver looking box. The removable interior and façade elements will tribute to the durability of the building. The image of the project will be created by the infrastructure, facilities and all the movements that are exposed at the outside.
