Custer collaborated with Muskegon Christian School to bring a fresh and functional aesthetic to their classrooms and common areas.
This transformative project, completed in January 2023, involved a creative approach to furniture through the thoughtful product solutions, which were specifically designed into the space to support student learning and collaboration.
Services we provided included furniture, Custer-led design, and meticulous installation.
Products featured throughout the school include solutions from Smith Systems, Fleetwood, Fomcore, and Steelcase.
The furniture installation was strategically planned during the school’s Holiday break of the 2022-2023 school year, delivering the newly furnished spaces before students returned to finish the school year.
Muskegon Christian School faced the challenge of allocating COVID relief funding (EANS) for non-public schools towards the purchase of new furniture for their facility.
Private schools often navigate unique challenges when it comes to adopting new elements. Our solution involved guiding them through the purchasing process, and utilizing education-specific product lines to ensure high-quality, durable furnishings that align with the school’s culture and branding, and will withstand the test of time.
Our team’s expertise extended across various spaces, including classrooms throughout the school, a daycare room, library, commons area, as well as counselors’ and front office spaces.
The goal was to create an environment that fosters learning, collaboration, and a bright, positive atmosphere.
This project is not just about classroom furniture; it’s about empowering an institution with the tools and environment needed for effective education.
By guiding them through the process and leveraging appropriate product and finishes, our team ensured that the school could maximize the impact of their allocated funding.
This project serves as a testament to Custer’s commitment to understanding the unique needs of each client and providing tailored solutions that go beyond furniture. Muskegon Christian School’s newly transformed spaces are now equipped to nurture a positive and productive learning experience for students and staff alike.
