Tate Modern chooses Knauf AMF ceilings for new learning spaces

The Clore Learning Centre at Tate Modern has recently undergone a refurbishment programme to enhance the gallery’s learning spaces. Architects Herzog and de Meuron worked closely with Tate’s Learning team to rework the learning spaces, and Knauf AMF Ceilings were specified for a number of the meeting and education rooms as part of the overall project.

Located next to the Turbine Hall, the Clore Learning Centre includes gallery-like spaces for the display of work, a welcome room full of resources and information, a small cinema, an artist’s studio and a seminar room.

Knauf AMF’s Fibrafutura Black ceilings were installed in the meeting and learning rooms by Kent & Roberts Ltd. The 1800 x 600 mm tiles were directly fixed to a concealed metal grid system to provide the requirements of a matt black finish without any visible grid, whilst also providing the required sound absorption to control the reverberation time in the space.

Fibrafutura is made from wood fibres bound together with cement. As well as a stylish appearance, it has excellent acoustic properties and is strongly impact resistant. It is available in a range of sizes and colours, including black, grey, cracked blue glaze, natural, copper mirage and white. The Fibrafutura panels can either be installed as a ceiling or alternatively, used as wall panels.
