The Lievestuore Vocational School, situated close to Jyväskylä, Finland, has been operating since the early 1990s. The school offers many different courses related to the use and transportation and of heavy construction machinery. Repair and maintenance of machines are also a key part of the training package.

In 2013, an additional machinery hall was added. The architect decided to use Graphic Concrete on the facade in order to reflect the use of the building. The graphics really makes the building stand out in its surroundings. As you approach the building the delicate detailing will appear, making the pattern very interesting on many levels.
