The Hart School – Student Canteen
When hundreds of students are moving through a canteen in a short lunch period, layout matters just as much as appearance.
At The Hart School, the aim was to redesign the student canteen so it could accommodate more pupils, improve the use of the available floor space and create an environment that felt brighter, more modern and more connected to the school’s identity.
Polycopy began by developing detailed CAD plans to explore how the room could be reorganised. The layout was carefully considered to increase seating capacity while maintaining clear routes through the canteen and avoiding a cramped feel.
The school’s branding was then incorporated into the wider design and décor, helping give the space a more distinctive identity rather than treating it as simply a functional dining area.
Furniture was selected to cope with the demands of a busy school environment while supporting the revised layout. Polycopy supplied and installed the furniture, taking the project from the initial planning stage through to the finished space.
The completed canteen makes better use of every square metre, provides increased capacity and gives students a more welcoming place to eat, meet and spend time during the school day.
“Polycopy have been fantastic to work with, and have delivered all furniture to our tight deadlines. Alex and Tristan have been amazing and patient with us throughout our refurbishment projects. Tristan in particular is an brilliant ambassador for your business, he has a great attitude which is rare in young men these days! Thank you again.”
