Design • Fit out • Furniture
UTC, a well-established educational institution, approached Nolan Interiors with a specific goal: to renovate their Sixth Form space.
As a vital part of the school, the Sixth Form area needed to serve both academic and social purposes, providing an environment that fosters learning, collaboration, and personal development. UTC required a design that would not only modernise the space but also make it more inviting and functional for students.
Initial problem
UTC’s existing Sixth Form space was outdated and lacked the vibrant, functional design necessary to meet the needs of its students. The area felt uninspiring, and its layout didn’t encourage the kind of collaboration and independent study that students needed. With a desire to create a dynamic and flexible space that could serve multiple purposes, UTC sought Nolan Interiors’ expertise to bring their vision to life.
Discovery and approach
UTC discovered Nolan Interiors through their reputation for delivering successful educational space transformations. After initial consultations, UTC decided that Nolan Interiors was the right partner to handle this project, as they could offer the comprehensive design and delivery needed for such a transformation.
Nolan Interiors developed a tailored solution for UTC’s Sixth Form space, focusing on key areas to improve functionality, aesthetics, and student experience:
Modern design and layout
The new design incorporated both collaborative and individual study area, offering flexibility for students. The layout was reimagined to maximise space, creating dedicated zones for group work, independent study and relaxation.
Project timeline
The entire project took approximately 12 weeks, from the initial design phase through to completion. Nolan Interiors managed all aspects of the project, ensuring a smooth process that stayed on schedule and within budget. The renovation was completed without disrupting the daily operations of the school, thanks to careful planning and coordination with UTC’s administration.
Collaboration and communication
Throughout the 12-week process, Nolan Interiors maintained close communication with UTC, providing regular updates and involving the school’s leadership in key decisions. The 3D design visuals presented at the start of the project helped UTC envision the transformation and ensured that the final design aligned with their expectations.
Project completion
UTC’s newly renovated Sixth Form space has been a resounding success. The transformation has provided students with a modern, vibrant environment that supports both academic and social activities. The new layout and design have maximized the space’s potential, making it feel more open, welcoming, and versatile. Students now have a space they are proud to use, whether for studying, group projects, or simply relaxing between classes.
Conclusion
The partnership between UTC and Nolan Interiors highlights the impact of thoughtful design on educational spaces. By transforming UTC’s Sixth Form area into a modern, dynamic environment, Nolan Interiors has helped create a space where students can thrive. The 12-week renovation delivered not only a visually appealing area but also a functional, future-ready space that enhances the overall student experience at UTC.
