By making real interior fit-out products available directly in the lecture theatre, the Lindner Group is further strengthening the practical relevance of construction-related degree programmes with immediate effect. The new sample sets enable students at the European Campus Rottal-Inn (ECRI), among others, to experience sustainable construction products at first hand.
First Product Samples for the European Campus Rottal-Inn
Supporting young professionals has long been a matter of course for the Lindner Group. In order to offer construction students even stronger practical insight and more realistic access to sustainable interior fit-out products, the company has now, for the first time, provided comprehensive product sample sets to Professor Roland Augustin at the European Campus Rottal-Inn (ECRI) of Deggendorf Institute of Technology.
Together with Professor Josef Steretzeder and Lindner’s product and market managers, a wide range of samples was compiled – including flooring, ceiling and wall systems. These will now be used in ECRI’s teaching programme, allowing students to experience materials and technical constructions directly and gain a deeper understanding of them.
The Key to Genuine Understanding of Construction
The initiative originated from a project at Augsburg University of Applied Sciences, where a so-called “Haptic Room” was developed. This space allows students not only to analyse sustainable interior fit-out products but also to experience them through touch. Using, for example, Lindner floor panels, perforated metal ceilings, baffles or wall modules, future civil engineers and architects are now able to understand the structure and function of construction products far more clearly.
This idea led to a cross-university collaboration designed to strengthen long-term knowledge transfer between companies such as the Lindner Group and higher education institutions. In addition to the European Campus Rottal-Inn and Augsburg University of Applied Sciences, Rosenheim University of Applied Sciences and Regensburg University of Applied Sciences will also be provided with sample sets in future.
