All were chosen to fit together as a ‘family’ to create an overall look which is both stylish and aspirational.VOA Associates Incorporated is a global architectural design firm that blends the capabilities of a multinational company with the care and attention of a boutique studio. The table was 5m in length and we designed and built a dedicated metal subframe to support a thick, chunky tabletop.Īll elements were specifically chosen by us, all fabrics, finishes, colours, and materials. We designed and built several bespoke items to give the room various zones including a large, fixed seating area which was finished with a seemingly ‘fix’ free glazed panel, a solid Ash trellis which spanned the room and several bespoke large tables each with incorporated charging points.Ī real feature of the room was a very large grey onyx ‘floating’ table which could seat 18 students. We produced our designs in 3D to enable both the head teacher and business manager to envisage the completed space. We installed a new bespoke teachers desk complete with hob / oven, dedicated sink and electrical sockets.įollowing the completion of building a new sixth form block, Shield were invited to develop some layouts and designs which would allow the Sixth form students to have an aspirational space to study, relax and dine. This layout allows a pair of students to have access to an oven, hob, sink and additional power sockets.All the ovens were built-in to our base units and electric induction hobs inserted into Velstone worktops. We installed new units throughout the room by introducing workstation ‘islands’ across the centre of the room. Moving the main doorway facilitated services to reach the perimeter of the room which allowed for a more teacher focused layout. This included removing the existing main door into the room and replacing with a new one in a different location. We completed an initial rip-out of all existing appliances and furniture. We completely re-modelled and refurbished an existing Food Technology classroom which facilitated an increase in students able to access the space and allowed for more practical, teacher led demonstrations to take place within the room. We also supplied full perimeter desking and loose tables and chairs within the new dedicated classroom environment and a number of relay desks and office desks to fully refurbish the upstairs office space. We also installed a small workstation to the perimeter with Belfast sink and laboratory taps. Within the DT space we supplied and fitted a number of timber topped tables, again with heavy duty castors to allow them to be moved and placed in several configurations. We also fitted large Belfast fireclay sinks with Broen laboratory taps. To the perimeter we fitted base units with Velstone worktops and some dedicated knee spaces to allow the technicians to work. These tables and tray units were all fitted with heavy duty castors to allow for maximum flexibility within the space. In the Prep room we designed a central island configuration, with working height tables under which mobile Gratnell tray units sit. Red stools were added to give the room a splash of colour. All worktops were Velstone silver dust, and all storage units finished in graphite grey. To the perimeter of the laboratory, we fitted a mix of standard base and Gratnell tray units with worktops and wall mounted units to allow for maximum storage. Tables with castors specifically built to be at worktop height were supplied to allow for extra workspace to be accessed if required. A terminal was built in to one of these islands to allow for a mobile fume cupboard to be connected The main training laboratory features large student islands, specifically set up for practical demonstrations and scientific experiments with all having access to gas taps, water and electrical sockets.
