Youth & common room spaces
Working with a school, university or youth centre to furnish a common room, canteen or study space requires understanding the key factors of that environment.
From style and material to colours and sizes, there is a range of key factors to consider to ensure the final selection of furniture is suitable for this high volume and flexible space. Here we have put together the below information to help check off a number of possible problems.
Canteen furniture suppliers
Highlighting where issues can lie, as canteen furniture suppliers we present suitable solutions to help create a flexible, practice and highly functioning common room and canteen space. The image shows Sir John Cass Hall School Project.
Possible Problems:
1. Hard-wearing:
School environments play host to high volume occupancy, with students and teachers occupying the spaces 5 days a week. school and college furniture suited for these spaces need to be solid and hard-wearing against daily wear and tear.
2. Maintenance:
As the spaces are used throughout the day from study to dining, the furniture and its material needs to provide resistance against germs. The staff room furniture should be easy to clean and maintain.
3. Staining and marks:
With these spaces serving various functions, the material used should present a certain level of durability against daily spills and marks.
4. Matching a brand colour:
Many schools have a certain interior colour scheme, so to ensure the furniture is presentable as well as durable, it should be possible to match the interior colour palette and brand identity where required.
