Renkomäki Multifunctional Building
The multi-purpose building Aura is located in Renkomäki, a part of City of Lahti in Finland. It opened in early 2023. The tinted NORFLAM® flame retardant treatment is ideal for the life-cycle building due to its bio-based nature, appearance and reliability.
Renkomäki Aura was tendered and built by Lahden Tilakeskus. It was built by a consortium of Skanska Talonrakennus Oy and Caverion Suomi Oy, with architect SAFA Tero Wéman of Arkkitehtipalvelu Oy as the main designer. The tinted exterior cladding panels were fire-protected by Icoma Oy. Caverion is responsible for the maintenance of the building for 20 years.

Modern village school in a rural landscape
The City of Lahti's climate targets favour wood construction, and Tero Wéman says that wood is the perfect choice for the life-cycle model of the multi-purpose building. The building has a demanding four-star RTS environmental rating and wood has been used extensively in both the façade and interior cladding.
The five-part building, which serves around 560 users and 80 employees, is located on the village road next to an old conserved village school with plastered facade. From the crest of the Salpausselkä ridge, it overlooks the fields and the Lahti motorway.
