In Yale Universities Becton Center, Willco’s Skyfold® and Modernfold® walls help to create flexible space for students and faculty with ease.
This new state-of-the-art science facility will be home to Yale’s leading minds in Biophysics, Biochemistry, and Cellular & Molecular Development. At the buildings inauguration on Jan. 31st, President Peter Salovey stated that “Directly or indirectly, in this building biologists, physicists, chemists, engineers, mathematicians and others will find ways to collaborate, both in educating our students and in helping solve problems that are vexing humans all over our planet… This can only happen in facilities that support the talents of the people engaged in these activities.”
Schools like Yale are utilizing our folding wall technology to create dynamic and efficient environments for students to thrive. Showcasing two of our core products, these walls offer class leading acoustic protection and durability, along with an almost infinite number of custom finishes. The whiteboard finish in this application allows for extra workspace and larger-scale cooperation on projects and research. Willco is proud to be part of such an important project, and hopes to do more jobs like this in the years to come!
