With mental health being a major concern on many college campuses, administrations are adding nature paths, park-like spaces, and water features in their total campus design. Providing green spaces on campus in addition to multi-purpose, exceptionally cleanable, and highly functional furniture could improve test scores, increase mental health recovery, and allow for more relaxation spaces.
Go with green education spaces
Green spaces, experienced in nature or in art, have a positive impact on many aspects of human wellness. On college campuses, in addition to extended hours at campus gyms and yoga classes, interaction with nature also reduces stress. There are many studies proving that fact. Visit a campus today and you’ll discover students studying outside just enjoy studying more than those stuck in the library.
Think multi-purpose for education space and furniture
In addition to green spaces, comfortable and flexible areas on campus that provide study zones of different types featuring furniture that can serve multiple purposes are very welcoming spaces. Furniture in these areas should also be flexible. The Sciara Bar Stool and the Varallo Guest by Kwalu are seating options that work at a dining or study table, in common areas and dorm rooms.
Clean education space starts with cleanable surfaces
Education design that can adapt to change quickly while maintaining attributes that will remain the same is the basis for design that feeds the brain and spirit. Clean furniture is the best furniture in education going forward. Kwalu’s innovative smooth and solid surfaces perform better than the coated furniture surfaces of both wood and metal in education spaces.
