Project Overview
Higher Colleges of Technology – Abu Dhabi Women’s College
Summertown was proud to complete a project that was to be part of the FESTIVAL OF THINKERS 2009 which was attended by a rich diversity of intellectuals such as Nobel laureates, entrepreneurs, CEOs, scientists, politicians, and royalty.
The requirement was renovating a 1500 sq meter library to realize Higher College of Technology’s vision of an advanced educational environment reflecting the current modern climate by refurbishing and expanding the Abu Dhabi Women’s College library.
The aim was to shift the library focus from bookshelves and units to online resources. Summertown incorporated the latest technology creating a feature wall showing large LCD screens and graphics, with built in power and cables.
Customized furniture and specially designed units were built with polished wood and vibrant materials as well as glass graphic partitions, creating an open plan environment.
Communication is the catalyst for success and this is achieved through openness and transparency allowing interaction and meetings among students, inspiring a motivational spirit between the female students.
Summertown is a veteran within the educational sector giving us the advantage of foreseeing pitfalls ahead of time and insight, easing the client’s journey, as we are able to anticipate complications/limitations and have solutions ready in advance saving precious clients time.
