Olathe Public Library was founded in the city of Olathe, Kansas, United States, in 1883 by a group of three local women who founded the first women’s club called “Ladies Reading Circle”.
In 1999, the year in which The Library celebrates its 90th anniversary, the expansion of the new Olathe Indian Creek branch begins. The project of the raised access floor of the new Library was committed to Newfloor.
For this project, we produced and supplied over 800 square meters of raised access floor in collaboration with our national ceramic tiles supplier’s Caesar.
Key requirement for the project was the guarantee of resistance to the maximum loads with an admissible breaking load ≥ 1200 kg in the center of the side of the panel. Newfloor adopted appropriate measures such as the use of reinforced steel tray of special thickness and a raised metal structure of adequate strength.
The raised access floor is composed by 2250 panels G30HTK: 30mm of calcium sulphate in size 60x60cm, covered with made in Italy ceramic tiles from Caesar, Gate series, Jet Black colour. The panels are supported by a SNFM structure with a 30mm medium stringers and 57mm high columns, adjustable from 40 to 75mm.
