Abstract: We prove that every finite connected simplicial complex has the homology of the classifying space for some $mathrmCAT(0)$ cubical duality group. More specifically, for any finite simplicial complex $X$, we construct a locally $mathrmCAT(0)$ cubical complex $T_X$ and an acyclic map $t_X:T_{X}oX$ such that $p{i}_1(T_X)$ is a duality group.
