Pendleton College, New Library Resource Centre, Salford, Manchester

Background

Background: The new library resource centre at Pendleton College was commissioned as part of a prestigious new build project at the college provding FG Library Products with the opportunity to work closely with both the college and the architects to devise a library that more than meets the needs of a college which has been awarded 'Beacon Status' ~ the highest accolade a college can achieve and which achieves an 'A' Level pass rates of 99%.

The Challenge

The Challenge: To devise a library that is both contemporary and appealing and which retains an open plan feeling whilst offering students and staff the benefits of clearly defined work areas.

Our Solution

Our Solution: Silver, maple and blue were chosen as the key library colours and this is reflected throughout the library to provide a cohesive, appealing and co-ordinated look. The Reflection shelving sysem in silver has been combined with display ends to provide the attractive modern appeal required by the college. Maple has been utilised across the reception counter, IT suites and study areas. Blue is used for the soft furnishings.

FG Library has also provided a complete signage solution for the library, providing all of the signage to ensure clear consistent navigation throughout the entire library. FGLP also provided a comprehensive stock relocation service to ensure that the transition to the new library was as smooth, seamless and hassle free as it could possible be.
