The forward thinking Three Rivers District Council had a small canteen area at its headquarters which was to become a central hub for a number of additional services that have moved into the building, including the police and civic officers. The space needed to be more adaptable allowing different areas to stop for a coffee or take a longer break. The flooring was re-laid to meet current standards and an ‘American Dinner’ theme was selected. In addition a breakfast bar with seating and more traditional tables and chairs were added, giving everyone more flexibility for a break. The knock on effect has been staff have identified it as a space to hold meetings.
