Staff Area Revitalisation | Altona North, Victoria
Hospitality Furniture Concepts partnered with Watson Young Architects to revitalise the staff areas within the Marianist Building at Emmanuel College, St Paul’s Campus in Altona North, Victoria.
The project focused on transforming existing staff lunchroom and breakout spaces into functional, welcoming environments that support collaboration, informal meetings and daily staff use. The goal was to create a modern staff room fit-out that balances durability, comfort and strong visual identity within an active education setting.
Education Furniture Designed for Staff Spaces
The revitalised staff area features a curated selection of commercial furniture suited to high-use school environments. Natural timber tones were paired with durable powder-coated frames and custom upholstery to create warmth while maintaining long-term performance.
Revitalising the Staff Room Environment
The renewed staff area now supports a range of functions:
-
Informal collaboration and planning
-
Quiet break areas
-
Lunch and social interaction
-
Flexible seating arrangements
The combination of timber, colour accents and durable finishes has delivered a contemporary staff room upgrade that aligns with Emmanuel College’s broader campus development.
