Vicaima, a leading European player in the design and production of doors, frames, wardrobes, panels and furniture pieces, has added a new project to its African portfolio, more specifically the student accommodation at the Lydex of Rabat, Morocco.

Lydex is a secondary school that focuses on combining academic education with athletic development.  As part of the structure of the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P), it reflects the ambition of creating a facility dedicated to the promotion and training of sports subjects, combined with a rigorous educational programme.

To ensure the best experience and well-being for students, it has a recently inaugurated residential campus, where Vicaima Portaro® solutions contribute to the high security standards. Being a versatile solution incorporating door, frame and accessories in a single piece, it reinforces the commitment to the security of people and goods in areas of intensive circulation using the Portaro® FD30 and FD60, with fire-resistant performances up to 30 and 60 minutes, respectively. The Portaro® Inverse EI30, also integrated in the project, combines fire protection with aesthetic harmony, enabling the door to be faced with the panels, thereby providing a seamless and continuous surface.

Alongside these high-performance solutions, the different areas of this accommodation, such as bedrooms, corridors, halls and common spaces, feature multiple Portaro® and Portaro® Inverse options, together with the Portaro® Double Action, a solution designed to provide easy mobility in high-use areas.

In an accommodation representing a benchmark in Morocco’s student panorama, with modern, high-quality facilities designed to guarantee an excellent academic experience, functionality is effectively reconciled with aesthetics. The multiple Vicaima solutions integrated are enhanced by the Dekordor® and Lacdor ranges, blending the durability and resistance of Dekordor® HD laminate coatings - easy to clean, ideal for spaces with intensive use - with the sophistication that the lacquered RAL colours from the Lacdor range offer to the areas where they are integrated.

The neutral and subtle colours, such as Lacdor White and Dekordor® HD White, are harmoniously blended into the decorative environment, providing luminosity and spaciousness. To complement the project, different Dekordor® SHD shades were also added, including Crème Liqueur, White, and a customised cream shade, which was specifically selected to highlight the architectural identity of the campus.

With a distinctive approach for the young students and future athletes of Morocco, Lydex Rabat boasts an excellent, modern and well-equipped accommodation, offering a secure, innovative and sustainable environment, driven by Vicaima solutions.
