Dynamic new hub uses light-coloured floors to boost light levels

Education Fri, Sep 15, 2023 1:52 PM

A dynamic, highly flexible building at the University of Cambridge has been fitted with Junckers solid wood flooring as part of a light-filled interior scheme.

The West Hub, designed by Jestico+Whiles, is a hybrid building designed to cater for students, commercial tenants, and members of the public.

A focus on fostering connection and collaboration through thoughtfully designed interlinking spaces is evident in the interior, which is bright, open, and welcoming.

The new building combines structured spaces with generous circulation areas for breakout and informal social and study use.

The large, light-filled rooms make use of Junckers Nordic Oak Harmony flooring finished in ultra matt lacquer as an ideal backdrop.

Using materials in paler shades helps maximise levels of natural light reflected into the space, supporting user wellbeing as well as minimising reliance on artificial lighting.

The building has achieved BREEAM Excellent and adopts many aspects of the WELL standard.

In association with Junckers Limited
