Pinnacle were entrusted with the consultancy, design, and supply of furniture for the refurbishment of Cadbury College’s East Block and Science Labs, working alongside EWA Architects and Willmott Dixon.
The Brief
Cadbury College is a specialist sixth form for 16-19-year-olds, the college offers an extensive range of over 40 advanced level subjects in a learning facility that has been constructed to meet the needs and aspirations of all its students.
Pinnacle designed and provided the furniture for the refurbishment of the East Block, including the Fab Lab, and science blocks. Our brief was to create a modern, state of the art space, tying in with the rest of the College and to facilitate the unique advanced programmes.
What We Did
In the Science Building, Pinnacle used their extensive knowledge of Laboratories to design and fit the furniture. Each science discipline required different elements. For example, lots of space in the Physics rooms for experiments, easy access to water in Biology, and gas taps in Chemistry rooms. Most of the rooms were fitted with fixed benching with integrated services, aside from the rooms that needed reconfigurable furniture for space. Loose furniture seating was also supplied to the Science Lecture room.
Although DDA desks were not installed, our designs were made to be futureproof, with spaces left for the desks to allow the school to install them at a later date should they need them.
Green was featured frequently across the design in elements such as the loose furniture like the chairs and science stools and in accent wall colours to pay homage to the school’s logo and branding.
