The Learning Lounge Project transformed Willows High School’s tired and run-down community space into a more welcoming environment for everybody to use.  Pupils and their families engaged in a series of workshops and site visits as part of a collaborative, community-led design approach.  Participants helped Ongl to generate layout, concept and colour scheme proposals; choose furniture, finishes and fixtures; and even assisted in the physical transformation – working alongside industry professionals to paint and decorate the space, tile the kitchenette and develop a brand identity for the new Learning Lounge.
