Creating Multi-Purpose Spaces
To attract the best and the brightest in the country, universities and colleges need to be able to have spaces that are academically functional while also appealing enough to a diverse student population, all of whom have multiple institutions to choose from on their doorstep.
Creating one cohesive environment that balances the need for teaching facilities and research areas with enough social zones that prevent a college or university from feeling drab is not an easy task. With the help of Office Insights, however, it can be.
Our educational fit-outs take into account the needs of today’s students without sacrificing the spaces needed for learning, nor your institution’s values.
Places Which Promote Learning Excellence
The environment in which students learn and study is almost as important as the courses themselves. Well-designed spaces put students in the right frame of mind, as well as making them feel like they belong in their place of learning.
Office Insight can help achieve all this in a number of spaces, be it lecture halls, seminar rooms, or modern digital learning hubs, complete with the latest AV technology.
We know how each space requires certain tweaks and features to maximise the learning that goes on inside them. Whereas lecture halls may require a focus on acoustics, seminar rooms may need emphasis on flexible layouts to allow for seamless collaboration to take place.
Our higher education fit-outs support traditional learning and the modern tech-driven aspects of HE that today’s digital-first students expect.
Encouraging Collaboration and Community
A university or college is only as good as the interactions between staff and students, making it vital that they have the spaces they need to collaborate and discuss work.
Here at Office Insights, we listen to those who will use these spaces and integrate collaborative study areas alongside more traditional learning environments so that students and staff can move through them with ease.
Students like to feel like they belong somewhere, especially in higher education, which is why it’s so important to have areas where a sense of community can be fostered, be that in a common room, cafe, or lounge. Through this, partnerships can be formed and knowledge can be shared among students.
Our Higher Education Fit Out Process
In any higher education institution, there are lots of moving parts and high levels of activity, which can present challenges when looking to refurbish existing spaces or create new ones. Thankfully, our team has extensive experience managing timelines and delivery of new higher education fit-outs around institutions’ schedules.
01
Define: We understand your institution’s culture and what you want to achieve from a new fit-out.
02
Concept stage: We’ll present what your new space, which balances large-scale facilities with more intimate study zones, could look like and invite feedback.
03
Material selection: Select from durable, student-friendly finishes that can withstand high traffic areas.
04
Integration: Technology is so important to higher education, which is why we weave it into the fabric of your new fit-out so that staff and students can take advantage of it immediately.
05
Follow-up checks: Our teams will periodically check in with you to discuss how the space is being used and action any feedback you may have.
Futureproofing Education Environments
Higher education is a space that is constantly evolving, and your institution needs environments that can keep up with that change and prevent it from looking bland to students looking for their next step.
We future-proof your spaces by creating flexible learning environments that are adaptable to the needs of whatever lecture or seminar is taking place, so that in just a few steps, a room can be transformed, helping to foster ideas and discussion.
Our experience in the higher education fit-out space means we’re able to forecast trends to help further solidify your institution as a place that keeps up with the times.
In today’s competitive higher education market, where students have a lot of choice about where to go, being able to showcase sustainability initiatives and digitally integrated classrooms can be a key differentiator.
Environmentally Conscious Higher Education Fit Outs
Sustainability is a key priority for many HE institutions that are part of the wider Net Zero aim by the UK Government. It’s imperative, therefore, that these spaces meet those environmental goals.
We’ll help keep your emissions low by opting for energy-efficient lighting, sourcing ethically made materials that align with campus-wide sustainability policies, and designing with the future in mind.
