With its 18 faculties, the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität [LMU] in Munich is a leading international university and teaches its more than 50,000 students in multiple disciplines. The main refectory, the Hauptmensa, on Leopoldstrasse in Schwabing, underwent an elaborate renovation process.
The POLYLAM vertical baffle system blends in a futuristic manner into the minimalist design of interior spaces. The individual baffles are perforated and backed with fleece and mineral wool, counteracting the acoustically hard surfaces of floors and walls. In addition, dur-SONIC CUBE broadband absorbers are installed in the ceiling cavity. This substantially improves the acoustics in the 1500-seater refectory. Luminaire housings with integrated TANGENTA linear lighting are located above the baffles. These recessed luminaires are rated for 4000 K. The powder-coated housings in three different colours create an exciting interplay of colours that creates a unity with the existing art objects.
Another part of the refectory is accentuated by the STARLAM linear open-cell ceiling. Integrated PUNTEO-J60, designed as downlights and wallwashers, round off the ceiling-lighting combination.
