After the success of Art in Adsetts over the last few years, we’re delighted that we can now start planning to exhibit student art in Collegiate Learning Centre.   Currently in the planning stages, the project aims to bring visual and creative displays to the learning centre, while relating to the subject disciplines that feature strongly on-campus, including health, sport and medical research.  We’ll be looking at work from final year students again which will include film, photography, fine art, sculpture, fashion, design and more, with a view to selecting pieces that enhance the study spaces.

The expansion to Collegiate is being managed alongside the redevelopment of the learning centre, which includes refurbishment of the main study areas upstairs and the PC rooms used for teaching. By the end of the work, the building will be completely refurbished and will be a much more inviting place to study.

Features will include

• a variety of study spaces
• larger desks
• power enabled furniture for better laptop access
• upgraded PCs
• additional Macs
• improved lighting
• more colour

Furniture designer and SHU Graduate, Daniel Schofield, has received an order from a Hong Kong fashion and lifestyle store for his Department Table.   The Lane Crawford buyer spotted Daniel’s innovative table at a design festival in London last year. 

Department Table by Daniel Schofield  Another of Daniel’s designs recently won the furniture category of the New Design Britain Awards.  His wall mounted desk with a secret storage space, entitled ‘Shifty’ was given the top prize by judges at the London awards.  The design has also received interest from a major high end London retailer and Daniel is now in discussion with the store.

The Department Table is designed to offer different areas for the various objects found on coffee and side tables.  The design offers a creative solution in keeping spaces free of clutter, while offering more accessible and accommodating surfaces for people to interact with.

Daniel graduated from Sheffield Hallam with a BA (Hons) in Furniture Design, and went on to develop his own company, Daniel Schofield Design, through the University’s entrepreneurial business incubator, The Hatchery.  Daniel is based at Yorkshire Art Space at Persistence Works in Sheffield. 

Daniel’s designs are also featured in the Art in Adsetts 2012 exhibition and images of the Department Table and another of his pieces are available to view on level 5 of the Learning Centre.     Daniel Schofield at the Art in Adsetts 2012 launch event with two of his designs.
