The State Library in Passau, Germany, underwent a major renovation project (2014-2018) to modernize its historic reading room, originally part of a 17th-century Jesuit high school. The project replaced a glass dome with an innovative steel and glass roof structure and new locally-sourced limestone flooring was installed. The renovation, which emphasized sustainability, made use of a complete system by Mapei for the installation of stone.

Every year the Mapei Group rewards the best building projects its subsidiaries have been involved in around the world over the previous year. The competition has reached its 21st edition and embraces every kind of building project to underline the sheer range and variety of the products on offer. Here is a presentation of the winning projects.

Mapei is launching a groundbreaking service for concrete manufacturers, enabling the publication of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) to certify the environmental impact of concrete mixes. Leveraging innovative technologies like the Cube System and using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method, this service contributes to reduce the carbon footprint of concrete while keeping high quality standards.
