Lausanne, Switzerland, Building Géopolis
EXYD-M on stainless steel was chosen for the facade of Géopolis – a new university building in Lausanne.
EXYD produced six hundred customized stainless steel sheets with the surface EXYD-M. The surface of the sheets are shaped in a similar way, but in fact the embossing pattern of all sheets differ from each other.
Sottas, a leading Swiss engineering and steel construction company, built the EXYD-M sheets into their compact facade elements and mounted them, covering around 30,000 sq ft of the facade – and a few sq ft of the interior.
Beginning from autumn 2012 Géopolis accommodates the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences and the Faculty of Geosciences and Environment.
