A new construction, Jefferson Community and Technical College is a state-of-the-art facility with technology intense classrooms and labs for hydraulics, pneumatics, electricity, electronics, welding and other applied process technologies. Industrial educational programs use a plant floor model mirroring the interdisciplinary nature of tomorrow’s work force.

EOP Architects chose Aspecta Five for common areas and the first and second floors of the facility. The rock outcroppings along the river beside the college were the inspiration for the layout of the building and the floor. The three different colors and widths of Aspecta created a sense of texture and movement with the curve in the lobby leading to the outside. The industrial look of concrete floors was achieved in the technical areas. The client required durability, easy maintenance and longevity in addition to aesthetics and found all those things in Aspecta Five.

The Aspecta Advantage

Style: Washed Concrete: Imitates the smooth and porous surface of well-layered cement. This finely detailed “workhorse” rendition finds its way into most interiors as the basic ground on which to build, with subtle washed colors adding an extra dimension.
Size: 24" x 24" / 609.6mm x 609.6mm
Edge-Detail: Micro Bevel
Emboss: Rough Concrete

Care & Maintenance: The no-wax floor is easy to clean throughout the day.

Durability & Performance: 100 percent virgin vinyl; 28 mil wear layer; 3.2 mm gauge; ceramic bead finish. 25-year non-prorated commercial and 10-year pro-rated labor warranties.

Reliability: Delivery within 2 weeks throughout the Continental US.

Sustainability: Phthalate-free and formaldehyde-free. FloorScore® certified for good indoor air quality. Health Product Declarations (HPD) v2.0, Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) and Declare Labels have been published for Aspecta Five, which disclose the material ingredients of the product. Aspecta’s two Asian manufacturing partners each received the first-ever JUST social justice labels for Chinese facilities. Aspecta’s facilities in Georgia and Connecticut have achieved JUST under JUST 2.0 standard. The Aspecta REVISE program takes back job site scraps for recycling into other vinyl products.
