1100 Floating Panels and Architectural Flair

Architectural intrigue for a contemporary expression

The Grodzisk Centre for Social Activation and Integration represents the successful implementation of the "Active Local Government" project in Poland. The multipurpose complex was designed by Paweł Tiepłow Design Studio to stand out with its protruding blocks and rooms suspended above the ground on reinforced concrete drawers. Inside, the building hosts a suite of state-of-the-art recreational facilities – now treasured assets for the community.

Acoustics support shared and multifunctional use

The complex serves as a hub for a diverse range of cultural, artistic, and sports events, conferences, meetings, and training sessions for local sports clubs. Its integration with the neighbouring primary school through a glazed connector facilitates the use of its amenities by students, promoting shared resources and further community integration.

Notably, the Grodzisk Centre for Social Activation and Integration features a 33-metre tower housing a fully automatic, mobile, semi-professional astronomical observatory – an attraction that captivates visitors.

Acoustic performance throughout the structure was key to achieving optimal speech intelligibility for educational and conference settings as well as optimal acoustics for concerts, entertainment, and sporting events.

Rockfon acoustic ceiling solutions were selected to meet the requirements for different room typologies – including over 1100 acoustic Rockfon Eclipse ceiling islands in the main hall. The floating ceiling panels not only meet the high acoustic requirements but also allow for efficient airflow, reducing the need for additional ventilation or separate fire detectors.

Additional Rockfon acoustic ceiling solutions were incorporated into two other sports halls, as well as administrative and social rooms and cloakrooms. Bright white Rockfon Blanka acoustic ceiling tiles ensure Class A acoustic control in various areas, including the circulation spaces and classrooms, with high light reflection.

The common areas of the building – such as a rock-climbing zone – feature Rockfon Tropic white acoustic ceiling tiles for a cohesive identity and noise control all across the facility.
