Project details:
Coronation Gardens - a picturesque green space in the centre of the Black Country town of Dudley - has undergone a major upgrade to enhance the town’s historic quarter and to create a physical link between the town centre and Dudley College campus. Central to the scheme is an amphitheatre which is available to community groups and the college for open air productions. Constructed with a gabion wall to the rear, curved units were required to provide comfortable seating provision for approximately 50 people.
Furnitubes developed and submitted a series of seating designs incorporating a combination of steel structures and timber slatted seating surfaces, designed as common modular assemblies in order to be produced as economically as possible, but not to look too ordinary. The final designs were loosely based around our popular Elements seating range and included polished stainless steel fascia panels and support posts, with complementary armrests in selected positions. The 12 seating modules are arranged in a 3-6-3 sequence, with the gaps between allowing wheelchair users to be accommodated within the amphitheatre seating layout.
Furnitubes also supplied independent seating to the scheme from our Zenith Horizon range, including benches, seats with backrests and picnic tables. We are proud to have been involved in the Coronation Gardens scheme and pleased that it has been well received and to see the site being well used since its re-opening.
