A Fresh Look at Trends in Education Design

Knowledge is power and the learning environment on college campuses is flexible. From learning commons to technology-oriented spaces, Kwalu education furniture incorporates flexible design that is comfortable enough for relaxing and durable enough for extended study time and social events. Here’s a fresh look at some of the education furniture that delivers the power to study, eat, relax and live on campus.

1. Higher education design that prioritizes wellness

Design for wellness on college campuses, when done correctly, supports the wellness of the mind, body and social. Workout spaces specifically designed for kick boxing, yoga, body weight training, personal training, Pilates, cycling, dance classes, swimming and other activities are popular on campus. Calm rooms and indoor garden spaces with comfortable seating and aroma therapy provide for better mental health on campus. Community spaces, featuring comfortable seating like the Diamante collection, created inside of high-traffic common areas guide students to spend more time with peers.

2. Campus design that caters to diverse preferences

Higher education design should be as flexible as the courses of study offered. Students are learning differently, and they require spaces that cater to their preferences. It is important designers remember for whom they are designing. Today’s student wants a collaborative space where they can exchange ideas. These modern collaborative rooms are multi-purpose spaces, part office with desks and work chairs and part living room with comfortable lounge seating, occasional tables like the Savoca collection and the Prato ottoman.

3. Education design that keeps technology in mind

Digital research, mobile test taking, personal blogs and websites are pushing out large screen learning in college classrooms. Every student has a phone, a tablet and a laptop. Being able to connect is a top priority on the road to getting a diploma. Education design trends are on the fast track to furniture with built in chargeability, secure WiFi connections, and tables and chairs with integrated lighting and touch screens for learning and entertainment. The Lecco Bar and Counter tables can be outfitted with an optional power grommet centered on the tabletop to accommodate 2 power outlets and 2 USB ports.
