5 Star Green Star Melton Library chooses RolaDek matting system
The newly awarded 5 Star Green Star Melton Library and Learning Hub in Victoria is the first library in Australia to be honoured with such an award. The benefits of this newly created sustainable building range from significant reduced costs to a healthier, more productive place to learn. The building includes an auditorium, ICT classrooms, a café and activity and beak out rooms which now makes it around four times larger than the old library.
The new Melton Library and Learning Hub chose the RolaDek matting system for its achievement of Level A recognition in accordance with Good Environmental Choice Australia’s (GECA) product standard: GECA 25-2011 v2 Floor Coverings.
