Upholstery Solutions recently completed commercial upholstery for the refurbishment of the Fisher Library in the University of Sydney. The four story,
multi-million dollar project is part of the University of Sydney’s outstanding campus renewal program. The new program of architectural revitalisation
is designed to create a series of links between previously disparate learning areas: formal, informal, indoor, outdoor, collaborative and individual.
The Fisher Library, once a shabby and forbidding cloister, has been opened up to establish a light-filled room of inviting spaces. No easy feat in a multi-story
academic building.
