Acoustic partitions and furniture brand JEB have provided interior solutions for the University of Wollongong's new Tai Wai campus in Hong Kong aiming to create an adaptable education environment. The University of Wollongong (UOW) College Hong Kong campus in Tai Wai covers 15,000 square meters and helps 3,300 students with updated facilities including an auditorium, library and marine laboratory. Hong Kong-based brand JEB was engaged to provide acoustic partitions and furniture solutions that could support learning and promote student interaction.
At the same time, the team had to design in such a way that it matches the Australian style, with each floor of the building replicating different elements of the Wollongong landscape: the Pacific Ocean on the first floor, the urban atmosphere on the second, and the cliffs on the third. JEB's Integra Operable Wall system is essential to the functional part of the design according to the company, as it empowers educators to swiftly alter room sizes and layouts by unlocking the wall panels and moving them.
The product "is evidence of JEB's commitment to revolutionizing the educational landscape and providing modern solutions that meet the evolving needs of modern learning environments. The intentional use of partitions and furniture in the UOW College campus project in Tai Wai not only handled the practical aspects of spatial flexibility and lighting challenges but also contributed to the creation of a trendy, flexible and student-centered learning environment", said JEB. "The thoughtful integration of these elements has positively influenced the educational experience and reflects the promise towards creative pedagogical approaches in higher education".
