Pupils start using new outdoor social space

Sixth form students at Cardinal Newman College in Preston have started to use the new outdoor social space we designed for them.

Principal of Cardinal Newman, Nick Burnham, said: “The outdoor seating has proved very popular so far with students using it straight away, especially the large covered area, as it provides great shelter whilst the weather has been so unpredictable.

“It offers students a great alternative to the indoor social areas, particularly under the current circumstances, as it allows students to spend time on campus between their lessons in a safe and socially distanced way.

“We look forward to the warmer months, when I am sure we will get even more use out of the seating. The seating fits well into the surroundings, compliments our grounds and gives us even more opportunity to enjoy the beautiful campus.”
