DINING SPACE REFRESH
Creating a More Vibrant Student Dining Environment
Barnsley Academy wanted to introduce more colour and energy into the canteen while maintaining a practical and durable solution suitable for busy school use.
The refurbishment focused on creating a welcoming space where students could comfortably dine, socialise and recharge throughout the school day.
PARC INDOOR BENCH SEATING
