Zukunftsmeile 2 in Paderborn, Germany, is a forward-thinking research and innovation centre that brings together academia and industry under one roof. Designed by Matern Architekten, the facility promotes collaboration between the University of Paderborn, Weidmüller, and the Fraunhofer Institute.
To support flexible working and idea-sharing, co-working areas were equipped with Homapal® magnetic boards, chosen for their multifunctionality and sleek finish. 8206 Magnetic Board White Glossy, suitable for board markers, and 8207 Magnetic Board White Matt, ideal for projection, were integrated into wall-mounted tables and pinboard zones - creating practical, creative spaces for brainstorming and communication.
These magnetic laminate boards offer visual clarity and functional flexibility, enhancing collaboration in workspaces and educational environments.
