Completion Date: July 2024
Project Overview:
Baldwin Preparatory Academy is a trailblazing educational institution in Loxley, Alabama, designed to combine rigorous academics with hands-on career training in a state-of-the-art facility. This 200,000-square-foot campus is at the forefront of preparing students for both college and the workforce, offering programs in fields ranging from cybersecurity and aviation to culinary arts and engineering.
Our team was entrusted with furnishing this innovative space, selecting pieces that would enhance both the academic and practical learning environments. The majority of the furniture comes from Global Furniture Group, known for its durability and modern design. Other featured manufacturers are KI, Via Seating, 9to5 Seating, SitOnIt and Eko Contract.
From Inception to Installation
Our design team played a crucial role in bringing Baldwin Prep’s vision to life. Given the floor plan, our designer spent months meticulously crafting multiple layout options for the client. This process included 3D rendering videos and PowerPoint presentations, ensuring that every detail was considered. After the client selected their preferred furniture options, our designer worked closely with them to choose the perfect finishes and fabrics. This collaboration involved numerous revisions, all aimed at achieving a space that was both functional and aesthetically aligned with the school’s forward-thinking ethos.
