Rather than replacing its ripped and tired-looking booth seating, the department decided to reupholster it, choosing a cheerful rainbow theme to reflect the University's committment to a diverse community. The brightly coloured, reupholstered booths look fresh and new, have saved money and illustrate how we can be less wasteful if we reuse furniture rather than replacing it.

“We think they look really great. The new upholstery saved us about £10,000, which is fantastic, especially as it is such an improvement.”

Eleanor Stoddard, Senior Executive Assistant,  School of Computer Science, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and Engineering Maths
