Glasgow Metropolitan College Cafe : Information
Development by Smith & Brown Interior Design, Scotland
6th Floor cafeteria, circulation space & student union
Glasgow Metropolitan College, Glasgow, Scotland
24 Jun 2009
The project required the creation of a new identity for the 6th Floor
cafeteria and common walkway. The cafeteria is an area of cross connectivity
between students and staff at the college and the design needed to
reflect this. Smith & Brown's design aim's to inspire a flexible
dining environment that offer's itself as a social hub, a lunchroom,
meeting space and entertainment venue.

Donna McBeath of Smith & Brown said "The project is fundamentally
about providing a design that works for everyone; somewhere that accommodates
the needs of solitary diners and those in groups. We want the sp ace
to be sophisticated without being too formal. We have selected materials
that provide intense blocks of colour and provide a variety of textures.
The use of colour is key in creating an open space that is exciting,
vibrant and appealing. Each area has a neutral base and an accent
colour, yellow in the cafeteria, orange in the corridor and blue in
the union. The change in colour is designed to inspire a subconscious
sense of space and identity."
The project is currently under construction and is due for completion
September 2009. Smith & Brown are also working on a training restaurant
for Glasgow Metropolitan College and an exciting new development within
the newly refurbished St Enoch Centre, Glasgow. Design team: Donna
McBeath + Sarah Escolme.
