21. Study Areas
Study Areas
Sherfield School, Reading Dragon School, Oxford
Bootham School, York King James, Knaresborough
We like to be as flexible as possible to provide
you with the furniture that suits your building.
This is why we have a bespoke design service,
so we can help you maximise space and
provide practical solutions.
Many schools ask for study areas, so we
thought we’d give you a few ideas of what
we’ve done before:
Sherfield School- Here we were asked to
create an I.T Suite where the base unit could
be stored at each desk and also have space to
take notes.
Dragon School prep room - Each student
needed an area without distraction as well as
a place to plug in laptops.
Bootham School - Bootham wanted a library
study area, so we created units where four
people can sit and study individually or in a
discussion/study group. We also added
sockets for electrical items to be plugged in.
King James - At this school they needed
study room and I.T suite, so we created a fixed
desk top space, divided underneath by
cupboards which can store computer bases
or work files.
We also have experience of designing science
labs and full libraries.

22. Offices
Offices
We don’t just specialise in areas for study, our
bespoke service can help with any room or
area you need furniture for.
Here we’ve got a case study of an office
project we have completed at More House
school. They needed a wide range of storage
space, including built-in cupboards, a set of
cupboards which could also act as a divider
between a waiting area and the office and a
set of file drawers.
They also needed a range of desks for office
staff, which included varying ranges of sizes
and storage. A new unit was also designed to
include a large desk and meeting space.
As well as office space we can also design
reception areas, staff rooms, waiting rooms
or large scale storage areas.
