University of Cambridge

Working alongside the external designer, the focus was on providing a write-up space where students and researchers could come to after completing an experiment in the laboratories. The multi-purpose space was also to be used for admin work and breakout by students. As furniture manufacturers and suppliers, we sourced a range of furniture to achieve this goal and to compliment the design aesthetic both the University of Cambridge and the designer were aiming for.

The private and quiet areas included desking with acoustic screens to reduce visual distractions and noise. At the end of each bank or workstations, our Freestor Office Lockers were placed for added privacy, and for students to securely place their personal belongings during laboratory sessions and when away from the desk. Within collaborative areas, we installed a range of poseur height tables and stools, media booths for semi-private chats and discussions, while soft seating and lounge chairs alongside dining benches and tables made up the breakout areas.

The furniture installation is a great example of collaborating with external parties and bringing a design to life, utilising our many years of experience advising on products and education environments.
