Modern Learning

The facility now boasts a collaborative learning environment that supports individual technology preferences to executive areas that are functional and flexible. Europlan has created synergy between sophisticated functionality and aesthetic design by delivering responsive spaces that can be easily re-configured to meet the changing needs of Ara.

Strong Partnership

We work closely with Facilities Management for day to day ‘business as usual’ supply to ensure all products purchased has the long term vision in mind.  Working alongside key stakeholders we have developed a Standard Catalogue of Furniture that makes ordering easy and takes out the guess work for staff.
