Mapei Donates Training, Materials to UNLV Student Project
Twenty-seven students from the School of Architecture at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), had the opportunity to learn about tile installations through a collaboration with Mapei and Coverings 2022. The students created an outdoor pavilion with eight benches that were showcased at this year's Coverings in April and then relocated to the university.
“Mapei has been fortunate to be involved in similar projects with students and Coverings in the past,” stated Jim Whitfield, Mapei's technical services director. “It is always interesting to see the students’ fresh perspective on the use of tile in structures like these seating modules and the wall. Their use of different colors, shapes, textures and sizes of tile makes it an exciting display.”
