Writtle University College, Chelmsford
Formerly an office block, the internal spaces were opened out to create four sociable study rooms available to students day and night.
Quality, connectivity, accessibility
From the outset, there were three key requirements of the project: quality, connectivity and accessibility. The area was to be a distinctly social space, with no fixed PCs but with students’ own device use to the fore.
The client was looking for a clean, contemporary look, with colours specifically chosen to suggest an air of purposeful studiousness, maintaining a calming atmosphere whilst at the same time promoting concentration.
