Grooms Off-Site School

As the summer ended and the pandemic changed the way our kids attended school, Jonathan and Audrey Garard saw a demand to create a space to facilitate virtual learning. Using our wide array of resources they created a non-traditional classroom space and lounge for group of SPS students to use and learn on their virtual school days while not physically seated in class. With a fully qualified facilitator, this space includes standard desking as well as comfy, collaborative lounge seating that the kids enjoy making their own!

Cox College - Phase 1

Cox College had an overarching goal in mind when they began their renovations in February 2019. To educate more medical professionals and prepare them for their field of study. It was a pleasure partnering with Butler Rosenbury & Partners and Cox College to bring their dreams to reality. Grooms Office Environments assisted with interior finishes and furniture specification throughout the course of this project. Renovations are still underway, and we can’t wait to see the rest of it completed.
