Royal Holloway Student Union, London The second grocery retailer on our travels is located in Egham, Surrey. This fabulous new food hall is sited within the state of the art library complex that now graces an historic university campus. Made from copper panelling and glazing, the new building is also eco friendly, as is the new Royal Holloway Student Union Shop. The designers, Retail Design Solutions Ltd, were tasked with a complex brief to create a unified and cutting edge interior that would also stock a very broad selection of produce, everything from Krispy Kreme doughnuts (the modern student’s favourite snack) to clothing. They had to develop a concept that was easy to navigate and stocked all the essentials, but looked incredible and would be a pleasure to shop.
The double height ceiling which is left open to reveal exposed vents and beams, has suspended spotlight trunking that also increases the feel of this very cool interior. A row of large, pendant lights that are hung between the fridge and the bank of central display units delivers yet another stunning focal point. RDS provided a project management service to the University, overseeing the tender, shop fit out and retail fit out during the summer break to ensure it was operational in time for Freshers’ Week in September. This exciting store would look suitably at home on any high street – Royal Holloway Student Union sets an excellent benchmark for grocery traders. . .
