Inaugurated in September 2014, the new Porte de Vanves student residence boasts 67 accommodation units in a bow-shaped building that meets the architectural constraints of a small, triangular building plot. 

The street-facing facade consists of several superimposed flat walls, giving the apartments a variety of viewpoints. The dimensional options provided by the Ductal® Cladding solution were used to address the building's complex pattern layout. Large panels have been used, some of which include a vertical or horizontal setback to close the complex's thickness on the edges of the flat walls.

This 1,000-odd metres of facade is dressed with a hundred or so white, smooth-textured Ductal® Cladding panels, manufactured to an architectural formulation.

The panels have been given a water repellent coating that guarantees the facade's aesthetic durability in a city setting subject to heavy traffic.

Use of a High Environmental Quality approach has ensured the award of the "Low Energy Building" Quality label. The wall's thermal performance is provided by an External Thermal Insulation solution; the protective layer of Ductal® Cladding contributes to the overall durability and sustainability.

According to the architects, Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg (KPMB), the new building design is a direct expression of Rotman's core mission to promote creativity, innovation, and integrative thinking in 21st century business education. The overall concept advances the school's long-term sustainability and business strategy, and will meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver requirements.

The thin, lightweight Ductal® sandwich cladding panels met the project team’s requirements in order to contribute to the building’s energy efficiency. The panels also met requirements for aesthetics, cost and sustainability.
