Ceylinco Life’s latest eco-friendly branch building has been formally declared open in Wennapuwa, as part of the life insurance leader’s on-going ‘Greening’ of its branch network. 

The new office building on 37.4 perches land at No 15, Rex Dias Piyanama Mawatha, Wennappuwa accommodates five branches serving the area and offers ample parking for customers. 

The three-floor building with a floor area of approximately 8,760 square feet has a solar-powered electricity system and is fitted with energy-efficient air-conditioning and lighting. It is designed to maximise availability of natural light.

Among the facilities in the new building is a conference cum training room that can accommodate 300 people. The building is designed for the addition of another 2,100 square feet of space in future expansion, the company said.
