The brief required the maximum number of seats whilst preserving the significant views from this library study space. A high level of acoustic separation from the existing group study rooms, lifts and circulation paths was an important consideration. The addition of extensive areas of timber battened wall treatments provides a degree of acoustic absorption that maintains this large study room as a comfortable and inviting silent study venue for students, including access to power, USB charging points at all desks and wifi throughout for charging and connecting mobile devices.
