UFI Learn Direct – Office Space Planning & Design

The brief for the project was to improve the quality and flexibility of the current conference and meeting room facilities at Learn Direct Headquarters building in Sheffield. The facility was to include breakout areas and ensure that the spaces provided would be sustainable by being easily adaptable to meet UFI’s constantly evolving environment.

Arcus was awarded the commission following a mini competition involving the Consultants on the OGC buying.solutions ‘Workspace Strategy, Space Planning, Design and Implementation’ Framework. OGC buying.solutions is an agency of OGC established to deliver value for money gains from central government and the wider public sector through a dedicated, professional procurement service.

“What seemed like an impossibly tight deadline was achieved on time and within budget despite some difficult changes to the scope of works. Arcus and their nominated contractor, were both extremely professional throughout. Work was mainly carried out during normal working hours and despite this, there was no disruption to staff at our Head Quarters. Our decision to award further work to Arcus is a further demonstration of our satisfaction with their work on this project.”
