Aarhus Statsgymnasium, special ceiling solution installed in 1959
Mogens Kjærgaard, who has been with DAMPA for 36 years
and is currently Head of R&D & Sustainability, observes that:
”At DAMPA, we hold a lot of accumulated expertise. Architects and engineers who visit us to discuss projects and
expect us to offer only standard designs are surprised that
we can offer many competencies. We have good connections with specialised companies who can carry out aspects
of precise manufacturing or finishing that enable us to offer
remarkable solutions beyond our standard range.
Sometimes, architects will come with fifty-year-old drawings
or photographs of buildings to be renovated and will ask us
to re-make the types of ceiling we originally supplied decades ago – and this can usually be done, preserving the
original appearance while adding up-to-date technology for
lighting and climate control.”
