Schools
From private schools, to state-funded schools and academies, cost-effective designs can objectively use the EFA Baseline framework to maximise efficiency and standardisation. By working closely with stakeholders and contractors key elements of specific interest or importance can be identified which integrate design features which personalise and symbolise projects.
Colleges | Further Education
Within this increasingly complex typology the objective is to enhance learning environments using flexible and appealing teaching spaces. By carefully integrating estate strategies and student movement, layouts can be manipulated to generate a pragmatic relationship of spaces, responding to the brief and context.
Universities | Higher Education
Focusing on student experience, university projects offer great opportunities to promote, engage and inspire. Extension and renovation projects can achieve a range of adaptable environments from small self-teaching booths to group discussion spaces, large-format studios and spacious social spaces.
