From study zones to relaxation havens.

As universities and colleges across the UK prepare for Freshers Week, it’s a time filled with excitement and new beginnings. At Davison Highley, we’re proud to support these institutions in crafting inspiring, functional spaces that enhance learning and foster community.

A project particularly close to our hearts is our work with Buckinghamshire New University (BNU), an institution with which we share a special connection. Three of our own, Caroline Atack – Sales Director, Marita Szkutnik – Project Manager and Andy Kirk – Product and Brand Manager, are proud BNU alumni. Reflecting on their journey, we are reminded of the importance of versatile and vibrant environments where students can thrive. Whether it’s spaces for collaboration, focused study, group workshops, or much-needed relaxation, Davison Highley offers a range of furniture solutions tailored to the unique needs of universities and colleges. Discover how our designs can help create the perfect atmosphere for every kind of academic activity.

Spaces for Collaboration

Collaboration is at the heart of the modern learning experience, and Elements is designed to bring people together. With its versatile, reconfigurable components, Elements allows for endless layout possibilities, from intimate study circles to larger group settings. Elements adapts effortlessly, providing the perfect foundation for dynamic and collaborative learning environments.

Individual Study Solutions

For focused study sessions, comfort and convenience are key. Our Skylon Work Chair is specifically designed to enhance concentration and productivity. With its ergonomic shape, power options, and comfortable upholstery, the Skylon Work Chair provides superior comfort for extended periods of study.

Workshop and Group Learning Environments

Creating dynamic and adaptable learning environments is crucial for modern education. Our Bee Modular Collection offers the perfect blend of flexibility and style for workshop and group learning settings. This collection features a variety of modular seating options that can be easily configured and reconfigured to suit different learning formats, from interactive workshops to collaborative group sessions.

Relaxation and Wellbeing Spaces

In between study sessions and lectures, students need spaces to relax and recharge. The Bee Cozy seating range is designed to create inviting and comfortable relaxation areas that promote well-being. With its soft, enveloping form and plush upholstery, Bee Cozy provides the perfect spot for unwinding, socialising, or enjoying a quiet moment between classes.

As the new academic year kicks off, we are excited to continue our journey of creating versatile and engaging spaces for universities and colleges.
