This business college had been open for nearly twelve months, when the director invited KOEDAM DESIGN a few months prior to their official opening, to investigate how to add colour, achieve energetic and exciting educational spaces to this new college. KOEDAM DESIGN had a very short time frame to achieve this metamorphosis of the college.
The client felt that the spaces were bland and we had to agree. For an educational space with dynamic young people training in IT, childcare, psychology, sports education, accounting and business management, the spaces were grey, draining and uninspiring.
KOEDAM DESIGNproposed designing new large format mural artworks for the spaces, as well as proposing accent wall colours and new artworks to corridors and the reception entry space. All murals were to incorporate inspirational words for the type of course taught in the lecture rooms. Part of the brief was to redesign the entry and reception counter joinery and add colour and energy to the lift lobby area.
