Firda’s learning hub: Practical education with acoustic excellence

Firda’s new campus in ‘Kooi Stadion’, Leeuwarden, is a modern learning institution for students in economic and beauty care programs. The dynamic environment requires good acoustics to maintain a calm atmosphere.     

As part of the ‘Kooi Stadion’ development in Leeuwarden (The Netherlands), Firda’s new campus is more than just a school. It’s an integral part of a multifunctional stadium complex. Designed to blend sports, education, and business, the Eleven Cities Park project transforms the area into a vibrant hub where students, athletes, and professionals share the same dynamic space.

Firda occupies a significant section of the stadium, providing students in economic and beauty care programs with real-world learning experiences. The campus includes modern classrooms, open workspaces, and a fully equipped hairdressing salon, where students practice their skills in a lively, professional setting – some even overlooking the football pitch.

Acoustics that support learning

To maintain a calm and focused atmosphere, Firda needed an effective acoustic solution for the school’s vibrant environment. Troldtekt Tiles T24, installed in a visible T24 grid system, ensure optimal acoustics by absorbing excess noise and improving speech clarity in classrooms and workspaces.

In the beauty care areas, the natural-colored tiles harmonize with the wood, glass, and soft neutral tones, creating a modern and inviting atmosphere. Their milled surface patterns add aesthetic depth while enhancing cohesion across different learning spaces.

Flexibility and a healthy indoor climate

Firda’s modular layout allows spaces to adapt to future needs, and Troldtekt Tiles T24 support this with their fully demountable design, enabling easy maintenance and reconfiguration.

As a Cradle to Cradle Certified^® Gold product, Troldtekt Tiles T24 also contribute to a healthier indoor climate. Troldtekt acoustic panels are documented as being free of harmful substances and can therefore safely be returned to a biological cycle – or a technical cycle where the material can become a resource in the creation of new products. The panels have a long service life of at least 50 years as shown in the Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs).
