Designing Workspaces at Swansea University

The main attrium is designed to be modular based and Bleachers bridge the gap between a meeting room and auditorium. Opportunities to adapt the configuration to meet any situation engages the user as they create their own personal collaborative space. In a dark stained ply, this flexible seating asserts itself, but is balanced by the preservation of the natural wood grain, keeping the material true to its organic form.  

The Park is a space developed from previously unused rooms to create both calming and collaborative spaces, all perpetuating the soft green tones and natural woods which are associated with areas of natural beauty. Whilst offering a place to reflect in picturesque surroundings, The Park also has spaces designated to teamworking and idea generation. 

The Library consists of smaller spaces for a mix of working styles. Effective space division is achieved by the Palisades Grid and produces a defined but not arbitrary place for one-to-one chats or meetings. Natural colours and softer fabrics enhance the seclusion of the space and adhere to the concept of The Library. With an inspiring array of zones and surroundings to choose from, students at the School of Management, Swansea University have the ability to enhance their experience and take comprehensive control of their future.
