College Fit Out & Refurbishment

Prestige Interiors delivers college fit out and refurbishment projects that turn tired teaching blocks into modern, flexible spaces students actually want to spend time in, with more than 40 years’ experience and a complete turnkey service behind every project.
Based in south west London and working UK-wide, our DBS Enhanced checked core team is experienced in live education environments, and you’ll have a single Prestige point of contact from feasibility to handover.

Why college teams choose Prestige Interiors
Creating modern learning environments
Post-16, students expect more than rows of desks. The best college spaces blend focus, creativity and collaboration: flexible furniture, good acoustics, robust IT infrastructure and social spaces that make the campus somewhere to stay, not just visit. Our in-house design service — including 3D visualisation — lets your leadership team see and refine the vision before construction begins.
Working within the academic calendar
College campuses rarely empty completely, so we plan around your reality: concentrating disruptive works into vacation windows, phasing projects so departments keep operating, and programming trades tightly when the deadline is enrolment week. Our sites are secure, carefully separated from students and staff, and run by a team experienced in education settings.
Relevant experience
We recently transformed a tired four-storey office building into a 20,000 sq ft sixth form learning centre for Kingston Grammar School — classrooms, study, office and catering spaces, complete with new HVAC, electrical, fire and security systems — open just 11 weeks after construction started.
“Paul and his team were professional throughout and created a great environment for our students.” — David Harris, Facilities Manager, Kingston Grammar School
