Steelcase Solutions appointed official furniture suppliers for The Sharp Project Campus

Steelcase Solutions, who opened a showspace on Booth Street in Manchester City Centre in June 2009, will supply a range of coordinating tables, chairs, soft seating and sound-absorbing booths for The Campus, a 5, 000 sq ft communal social space and events area at the centre of the ‘Gold’ zone. With a café and a variety of seating areas, it can comfortably accommodate up to 200 people. Membership for The Campus will be available from March.

Ross Miller from Steelcase Solutions said: “It’s fantastic to have the opportunity to work with The Sharp Project to deliver a vibrant but functional space that will grow along with The Campus. It is unlike anything else in the region so far and we are proud to be a part of it.”

Sue Woodward, Director of The Sharp Project said: “It’s great to have created this partnership between Steelcase and The Sharp Project. It was important to form an alliance with a highly regarded, design-led furniture supplier who was able to deliver a communal space that could be used equally by both our tenants and The Campus members. This is an attractive, inviting space where digital entrepreneurs and creatives can conduct meetings with clients, grab a sandwich, surf the net or simply network. The layout has been cleverly designed to encourage interaction, enabling people to get to know their neighbours and make new business contacts naturally.”

The Campus will be open from 1st April 2012 with a taster month of activity in March.  For more information on The Sharp Project visit www.thesharpproject.co.uk and for more information on Steelcase visit www.steelcase.co.uk.
