The ARDEX Group UK has announced the official reopening of the ARDEXacademy North in Stoke-on-Trent.
Following a significant programme of renovation and investment, the upgraded facility has been transformed into a modern, highly flexible training environment designed to support education across the full range of building and construction sectors served by the ARDEX Group and its brands – BAL, ARDEX and DUNLOP.
Replacing the previous Innovation & Technology Centre (ITC) used predominantly for BAL branded training, the ARDEXacademy now offers “new purpose-built areas to provide a much broader and diverse, practical training space capable of supporting multiple construction disciplines, including tiling, flooring, screeding, waterproofing and general construction.”
With immersive, hands‑on and interactive learning at its core, the facility has now fully reopened its doors to fixers, installers, contractors, architects and designers alongside its distribution partners.
The upgraded ARDEXacademy North now includes:
Brand new moveable floor tiling and flooring bays
Larger practical wall bays for large format tiling, waterproofing, and other preparation techniques
A fully refurbished auditorium, welcome room and reception
An upgraded Studio Room, featuring a large video wall and dedicated training area
Highly flexible spaces to support training across flooring, tiling, screeding, home improvement and general construction
Large flexible meeting rooms which can be used for theoretical training and the delivery of CPDs.
Designed to adapt to a wide range of training requirements, the facility has been designed to enable ARDEX Group UK to deliver tailored education for both the practical and/or theoretical training requirements of its customers, across its brand portfolio.
