On the newly realised project of the CZU, a large-format system with easy bottom disassembly of Ecophon Focus™ Dg was used to cover the ceiling in the corridors. When choosing it, the requirements and experience of the user were also considered, which were based on experience from previous projects implemented for CZU.

The Focus Dg system allows users easy access to spaces above the soffit. At the same time, the corridors are rated as sufficiently damped and acoustically comfortable. The close cooperation of architects and acousticians with the Faculty of Forestry and Wood Science of the CZU also paid off in the novel design of acoustic wall coverings and ceiling Ecophon Solo™ panels in the classrooms, which are printed with thematic photographs from nature selected by the faculty using UV printing technology.
