Initial problem

The Learning Support Area (LSA) Classroom at John Leggott College needed a significant overhaul. The existing space was outdated, lacked dynamic and functional design necessary to foster collaboration, creativity, and focus. The college envisioned a space that could inspire its students while accommodating various study and co-working styles – turning to Nolan Interiors for help.

Discovery and approach

John Leggott College discovered Nolan Interiors through recent work produced in other areas of the college. After initial consultations and design discussions, the college entrusted Nolan Interiors to bring their vision to life. The goal was clear: create a vibrant, multifunctional environment that aligned with the college’s branding and values, while enhancing the student learning experience.

Nolan Interiors developed a bespoke solution for the LSA Classroom, focusing on these key areas to achieve the college’s objectives.

The design seamlessly integrates a vibrant colour palette that reflects the college’s branding, creating a unified and visually striking identity. this thoughtful choice ensures that the space not only functions effectively but also leaves a lasting impression on all who use it.

Careful planning resulted in a layout that maximises functionality and versatility. The space includes booth seating deigned for focused individual work or small group collaboration, private rooms that provide quiet areas for study and one-on-one discussions, and open collaborative zones furnished with comfortable and ergonomic seating to promote team work and creativity.

The space ensures there is flexibility, enough to support a variety of uses, from relaxed social interactions to more structured and focused study sessions. The overall design creates a bright and welcoming environment, carefully crafted to inspire and energise students, making the space both functional and motivating.
