Through a number of workshops with the Alpha designers and specialist furniture manufacturers, the brief was developed to create a vibrant, modern stimulating teaching environment very different to mainstream educational facilities, using high specification products that will be durable and have a high visual impact in transforming the teaching, learning and social environment in the new campus building. The experienced Alpha team assisted in guiding the college team with design, product, materials & colour selections, with meticulous planning delivery & installation of an exceptional package. Delivery and installation were managed, and coordinated to meet challenging timelines to ensure that the campus furniture package was fully installed and operational for the new academic year. Working in partnership and understanding client driven needs and expectations for the project has ensured that the facilities are both practical and visually stunning, as a showcase for Further Education facilities in NI.
