Architectural Systems Training
MURAÉ Academy is a collaborative training platform developed in partnership with Ceilex to support architects, designers, and installation professionals working with stretch ceiling systems and integrated architectural environments.
The program provides hands-on experience with surface systems, lighting integration, and acoustic installations within real architectural spaces.
Rather than learning from isolated demonstrations, participants engage directly with working installations inside the MURAÉ showroom environment.
This approach allows designers and installers to experience how ceilings, walls, lighting, and acoustic systems function together as a unified architectural system.
Two Locations. One Platform.
The MURAÉ Academy operates across two locations.
Miami — Ceilex Academy
Ceilex hosts regularly scheduled training sessions focused on stretch ceiling technology, system installation, and product development.
These programs provide technical education for installers and design professionals working with tension membrane ceiling systems.
Atlanta — MURAÉ Academy at Miami Circle
The MURAÉ showroom in Atlanta functions as a living demonstration environment where architectural systems are installed, updated, and explored throughout the year.
Quarterly installation builds transform the gallery space, introducing new ceiling forms, lighting integrations, and acoustic treatments.
These installations allow architects and designers to experience evolving architectural environments in a real design setting.
Living Architectural Demonstrations
Unlike traditional training centers, the MURAÉ showroom operates as an active architectural laboratory.
Each quarterly installation introduces new combinations of:
• stretch ceiling systems
• luminous architectural ceilings
• sculptural lighting installations
• acoustic environments
• biophilic installations
These builds allow architects, designers, and installers to observe how systems perform in real spaces rather than isolated mockups.
The gallery evolves continuously as new systems are installed and demonstrated.
Training Programs
Programs offered through the MURAÉ Academy include:
Architectural System Overview
Introduction to stretch ceiling technology and integrated architectural surface systems.
Stretch Ceiling Installation Training
Hands-on instruction for installers working with tension membrane ceiling systems.
Lighting Integration Workshops
Understanding how stretch ceilings integrate with architectural lighting systems and luminous environments.
Acoustic Environment Design
Techniques for combining surface systems with acoustic treatments and concealed sound environments.
Architect + Installer Collaboration
Workshops designed to improve coordination between architectural design teams and installation professionals.
For Architects and Designers
Architects and interior designers can attend Academy sessions to better understand how stretch ceiling systems integrate within architectural environments.
Participants gain insight into:
• system specification strategies
• lighting and acoustic integration
• material options and finishes
• installation requirements and coordination
This knowledge allows design teams to specify architectural systems with greater confidence.
For Installation Partners
The Academy also supports contractors and installation professionals seeking certification and hands-on experience with stretch ceiling systems.
Training focuses on:
• installation techniques
• system preparation and layout
• lighting integration methods
• troubleshooting and finishing standards
These programs help build a qualified regional network of installation partners capable of delivering complex architectural systems.
The Miami Circle Showroom
The Atlanta location of the MURAÉ Academy is located within the Miami Circle design district, a center for architecture and interior design in the Southeast.
Architects, designers, and developers can experience working installations that demonstrate:
• luminous stretch ceilings
• acoustic environments
• integrated architectural lighting
• biophilic interior installations
Private tours and scheduled Academy sessions are available throughout the year.
Upcoming Programs
Upcoming MURAÉ Academy sessions and installation workshops will be announced throughout the year.
Programs are held in both Miami and Atlanta.
Participants may attend technical training sessions, design workshops, or installation demonstrations.
