Space to learn is always complemented by room to relax. With changing student requirements and a fluctuating in-take, your Common Room can be designed to meet your specifications, with a host of interior and exterior options available to tailor the building to your needs. With Cardiff Metropolitan University, well-planned room design offered flexible teaching spaces with specific break-out and common room areas.
Ultimate flexibility
The vast, column-free spaces that are created inside give us the ultimate flexibility to configure your student’s union or common room building just the way you want it. Outside, your building can be finished in a variety of materials, with a range of roof options, to complement the surrounding environment
Multi-storey
Thanks to the modular structure of Portakabin buildings, we are able to expand upwards with a multi-storey structure and outwards with multiple layout options and unlimited floor area, depending on your requirements.
The centre is both new and modern but in keeping with our existing facilities. Our staff and sixth formers are really delighted to be working and studying in such a high quality learning environment
