Founded in 1970, the Lannion University Institute of Technology is part of the University of Rennes I, it welcomes a thousand students, teachers and researchers every day.

50 years after its construction, the renovation of the building had two objectives: to modernize the whole by giving it an aesthetic in accordance with contemporary standards, but also and above all, to ensure optimal insulation to the building. The specifications included many issues: covering an asbestos facade, finding a solution to improve the airtightness and intervening in an occupied site.

To respond to these difficulties, the Myral solution was naturally imposed on the contractors, who were won over by all the strengths of the M32 panel: thermal quality, suitability of finishes, ease of installation, etc. On this site, Myral's cladding panels were combined with the Doerken vapor barrier system, an innovative solution to improve the airtightness of the building, which had been lacking until then.
