Engineered bamboo meets education in this story of how an international school went "big bamboo".
2019
Eurocampus
A school campus, home to the German and French schools is located in the Yangpu district of Shanghai and is being labelled as one of the jewels of the district.
Story
A primary design feature of the Eurocampus, is a consistent, modern, engineered bamboo detail throughout the interior and exterior outfit. altPlus worked with the lead Design Consultants and ownership group to take the design from concept to operation. The school is a benchmark for performance engineered bamboo materials in an education setting, providing a daily, warm and natural learning experience to students.
