A total flooring solution for the new BAPS Mandir and Community Centre

Ten years in the making, the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir and Community Centre in Canberra represents an epic labour of love by the local Hindu community.

The Canberra BAPS community has diligently donated money and fundraised to acquire land in Taylor and have their Temple designed and built. Within its intricate stone facade, the centre provides a wide variety of spaces, including a central shrine, hall, activity rooms, offices, commercial kitchen, dining halls and lounge areas.

As a home for prayer, learning and outreach, the temple serves a large community, with 12,000 people attending the opening. The architects provided suggestions for flooring colour and type, and then the team at Tarkett consulted closely with the client group to provide flooring for the entire complex – selections to suit the need for colour, comfort, durability and cost.
