Blackhawk Technical College

Blackhawk Technical College's new Public Safety Center in Janesville, Wisconsin, brings specialized education, training, and wellness together in a 75,000-square-foot facility serving students preparing for careers in law enforcement and emergency services. Part of the college's larger Public Safety + Transportation Complex, the building includes specialized labs and classrooms, simulation and training areas, a fitness center, and an indoor walking track.

Zandur flooring is used across several distinctly different environments, demonstrating how performance requirements can change within a single project. Sophros™ provides a durable, low-maintenance surface for technical labs and learning spaces, while Flex™ creates a bold blue indoor track designed for active use. In the weight-training area, the flooring provides the added durability and impact performance required around heavy fitness equipment.

Together, the applications show the versatility of rubber flooring in education—from highly technical instructional spaces to fitness and movement. Consistent performance, comfort underfoot, slip resistance, and easy maintenance help support a facility designed for hands-on learning and years of intensive use.
