Sansin Finishes Protect Nature-Centric Student Center

April 2021 —–
POTM - Student Centre

NATURALLY PERFECT® WOOD PROTECTION

The New Student Centre Building at Laurentian University in Ontario, Canada, features a sustainable design that helps the building blend with its surroundings. The design team, comprised of Yallowega Bélanger Salach Architecture and Gow Hastings Architects, incorporated wood, glass and metal to create a comfortable living room-like gathering spot where students connect with one another and nature. Spruce and pine glue-laminated wood are visible throughout, running the length of the atrium ceiling to the underside of the large canopy. To ensure the character of the wood shines through and to achieve a harmonious look among different wood species, Sansin SDF and SDF Topcoat were applied on both interior and exterior surfaces.
