Mohammed VI University incorporates EMAC® Group solutions into its campus.
Architectural design transforms ideas into functional, inclusive, and sustainable spaces that enhance the experience of society. Mohammed VI University, located in Ben Guerir (Morocco), is an impressive infrastructure that combines cutting-edge design and functionality, created by the renowned architectural firms Ricardo Bofill and Moroccan Elie Mouyal. These studios have trusted the solutions of the Valencian company EMAC® Group to improve access to the academic building constructed on a 55-hectare plot of land.
The Novomat® technical mats from EMAC® are the integrated solution in this grand project, and they are present at the main entrances of the Mohamed VI Polytechnic University buildings. This innovative architectural proposal is part of the Green City project and was created with the aim of producing science from Africa.
Specifically, of the four available models of this solution, the Novomat® 15 model, with a height of 15 mm and a textile carpet finish in anthracite color, has been chosen to provide an effective barrier against dust, moisture, and dirt.
"It is an honor for EMAC® Group to be part of the construction of the Mohamed VI Polytechnic University, a project that fuses cutting-edge design and innovation while being thoughtfully integrated with the natural environment and its history. Our Novomat® solution not only enhances the functionality of the entrances but also supports a vision of social and ecological development in Africa. Together, we are transforming ideas into spaces that enrich our society and foster a greener future," says Emi Boix, CEO of EMAC® Group.
Novomat® Technical Doormats: Protection, Durability, and Customization
The Novomat® technical doormats from the company led by sisters Emi and Nuria Boix are designed to withstand the daily traffic of over 50,000 people, ensuring long-lasting protection for flooring while maintaining the aesthetics and functionality of the environment. Custom-made, they perfectly adapt to any size or shape, with tight delivery times, a key advantage for large-scale projects like the Mohamed VI Polytechnic University.
With anodized aluminum profiles connected by high-resistance synthetic rubber, Novomat® doormats not only provide acoustic insulation but also facilitate the removal of dust and moisture. Additionally, their flexible design allows for easy rolling, simplifying maintenance. This solution from EMAC® Group not only enhances the efficiency of the entrances but also helps maintain cleanliness and comfort at one of Africa's most innovative academic institutions.
The anodized aluminum profiles, connected with high-resistance synthetic rubber, not only provide acoustic isolation but also help absorb moisture from footwear, preventing indoor floors from getting wet and, consequently, reducing the risk of slips or falls. Their flexible design makes them easy to roll, simplifying maintenance. This proposal from EMAC® Group improves access efficiency while contributing to cleanliness and comfort at one of Africa's most innovative academic centers.
EMAC® Group Solutions, Prescribed by Industry Leaders
EMAC® Group solutions have been prescribed for the construction of the Mohamed VI Polytechnic University project, meaning they have been specifically recommended or included in the project's plans and technical specifications. In other words, the architectural firms Ricardo Bofill and Elie Mouyal, along with the construction company Bouygues – ranked as the 8th largest construction company globally in 2023 – have decided that EMAC® products must be used to meet certain project requirements, such as quality, durability, or design, ensuring their presence during the construction phase.
