Cleaner air
1 m² of living wall filters fine dust, absorbs 2.3 kg CO₂ and produces 1.7 kg oxygen per year.
Mundus College Transforms with 100% Circular Green Facade
As part of a 100% circular renovation, Mundus College in Amsterdam installed a striking 81 m² SemperGreenwall. This sustainable facade delivers a greener school and a healthier learning environment for both students and urban wildlife.
Cradle to Cradle certified
SemperGreenwall systems meet the highest standards for quality and sustainability, holding a Bronze-level Cradle to Cradle certification.
Extends facade life span
A living wall shields your facade from sun, rain, wind and temperature changes, extending its lifespan.
Mundus College in Amsterdam got a sustainable facelift — and a striking SemperGreenwall to match. When the old façade started falling apart, Salverda Bouw stepped in for a 100% circular renovation. By reusing existing materials, funds were freed up to add an 81 m² living wall by Sempergreen. The result? A greener school, a healthier learning environment, and new homes for bees, butterflies, birds and bats in the heart of the city.
The Mundus College in Amsterdam has been renovated with an eye-catching SemperGreenwall. The old facade panels were no longer in good condition. The foil of the trespa panels was coming loose and there was wood rot. Salverda Bouw was commissioned to completely renovate the façade. It was important to Mundus College that the facade be renovated in a 100% circular way, reusing the cladding if possible. The money saved by reusing existing materials was used to provide part of the façade with a green wall by Sempergreen. With this, Mundus College wants to contribute to a greener environment in the busy city of Amsterdam and provide living space for bees, butterflies, birds and bats. With the 81m² SemperGreenwall Outdoor, Mundus College is also creating a healthier learning environment.
Nature-inclusive construction
Education foundation Esprit commissioned the facade renovation with a nature-inclusive slant. In nature-inclusive construction, a building is designed to contribute to local biodiversity. This creates a healthy and attractive urban environment that is pleasant for all users and animals. Green facades like at Mundus College not only provide space for insects and birds, vertical greenery also contributes to reducing the heat in the city, also known as the ‘urban heat island’ effect. To make the building even more animal-friendly, nesting boxes have also been installed under the eaves, providing nesting opportunities for birds and bats.

Frost protection for cold months
The SemperGreenwall features the intelligent Plant Care System. This web-based control programme administers the right amount of moisture and nutrition to the plants. Moreover, it allows the green wall to be remotely monitored and adjusted, so that the walls are guaranteed to be green all year round. In addition, the green façade is equipped with frost protection for the cold winter months.
Designed for Life — in Every Sense
The planting of the SemperGreenwall Outdoor was selected with the help of an ecologist. All selected plants fit well with the flora and fauna of the Sloterplas and the surrounding park. The sun position of the facade was also taken into account. All plants are strong hardy plants, guaranteeing a permanent green appearance.e.
