Warren Smith of Stonesmith did an incredible job with the task that the College presented to him. His ability to understand what the College needed and then to ensure that the end result matched this was first rate. Warren was professional in his interactions with staff, worked to a tight timeline and made sure the space was left in order. The College had an expectation of how the end product needed to look and feel, Warren worked hard to achieve this. It was incredible to see the designs come to life.
