HiQ centre at QUT’s Kelvin Grove campus

Podium workstation pods customised into service desks for HiQ centre at QUT’s Kelvin Grove campus

Maxton Fox’s Podium workstation pods were customised into concierge-like service desks for the HiQ centre at QUT’s Kelvin Grove campus. The design was re-engineered from a 4-way to a 3-way configuration, optimising stability and functionality with an electronic height adjustment.

HiQ is QUT’s student services function. Various HiQ centres exist throughout the campuses to support students on their education journey, whilst also providing library services.

Maxton Fox was engaged to manufacture service desks for the HiQ centre at QUT’s Kelvin Grove campus. We were asked to customise our Podium workstation pod range into a unit that is sufficient for a concierge-like function.

Instead of a 4-way clover shape, we re-engineered the system to be 3-way with a smaller base circumference whilst also maintaining the stability, particularly when raising the desk height with the electronic mechanism.

The work was executed to the satisfaction of both the client and the project team.
