University of Wales Trinity Saint David - Louisa House

Following the successful award of the sole supply contract for the University of Wales Trinity Saint David, Wagstaff was commissioned to refurbish Louisa House, a key facility on the university’s Quay Campus in Birmingham.

The project aimed to transform the space into a dynamic, multi-functional teaching environment that could support a broad range of academic and social activities for both students and staff.

  • Create a flexible and modern teaching space.
  • Integrate a library-style area to facilitate both independent study and group collaboration.
  • Provide consultation and meeting rooms to support academic discussions and informal gatherings.
  • Enhance the student experience with breakout and relaxation areas.

Wagstaff collaborated with Connection to specify and supply high-performance furniture solutions tailored to the specific needs of UWTSD’s student body and academic staff. The design emphasised comfort, flexibility, collaboration, and technological integration across all zones of Louisa House.

Meeting & Group Work Areas

Connection Xpresso Chairs (Fully Upholstered). Used throughout meeting rooms, the Xpresso chairs offer comfort and versatility. These areas provide students with the ideal setting for collaborative learning and group tasks.

Breakout & Relaxation Spaces

Connection Hygge chairs were also incorporated into designated private rooms, providing a comfortable and calming space for students and staff to reflect or pray. Their enclosed, supportive design fosters a sense of peace and privacy, aligning with the university’s commitment to inclusivity and wellbeing.

Collaborative Study Zones

Connection Plenti Poseur Tables with Swoosh Stools. High tables paired with ergonomic stools encourage informal interaction and collaboration. Integrated power and lighting solutions support uninterrupted working, minimizing the need to relocate for charging or better lighting.

Private Work Booths

Connection Tryst 4-Seater Booths. Ideal for focused study or small group meetings, the Tryst booths offer acoustic privacy. The enclosed design helps reduce distractions and fosters a more productive environment.

The refurbishment of Louisa House has successfully delivered a forward-thinking educational environment, balancing modern aesthetics with functionality. The integration of Connection furniture supports a wide range of learning styles and interactions, from quiet individual work to lively group collaboration. Feedback from students and faculty has highlighted the enhanced usability, comfort, and appeal of the newly transformed space.
