Students are used to less sophisticated places and conditions but that’s only because they’re usually more preoccupied with their education and don’t really care about the rest. Still, that’s no reason to exploit that. Student’s centers don’t necessarily have to look old and boring, with old books and cheap furniture. They can be modern and fun like this one.

Coventry University’s new student center shows us how it’s done. This place has cozy nooks, bright colorful interiors, a happy atmosphere and a modern look. The sunny yellow tone that has been used throughout the place is bright and happy and, in combination with the grey, it also gives a sense of youth and elegance. Coventry University’s new student center covers a surface of 91,000-sq-ft and it’s also known as “The Hub” among the students.

It’s a bright and informal learning center with a clean look, modern design and large enough to accommodate 1000 students at a time. It’s enough room for everyone to learn in there. If only the enthusiasm would be made to measure. The Hub is a combination between a library and a public area. It’s like a home away from home for the students in the campus. The modernity of the décor is certainly appealing. My favorite items would be the teardrop pendants hanging from the high ceiling.{pics by Hawkins\Brown}
