Space design might translate into basic shapes like rows, u-shapes or clusters, but agile space unleashes the other three quadrants of the Learning Environments Framework. Intuitive, easy-to-use classroom furniture empowers spatial and tool organization, connects students and teachers, and stimulates learning, engagement and well-being. Key features like table and storage mobility, height-adjustability and multipurpose functionality become essential.

Observation

Furniture can create distracting sounds, cause injury, break quickly under daily use, or become obsolete before its time.

Solution

Look for solutions that muffle versus amplify distracting noise levels, eliminate safety hazards like pinch points and tipping, resist vandalism and misuse, and possess multi-purpose functionality.
