Studies show, students who learn in positive environments learn and achieve more. What creates a positive environment? Spaces that are clean and pristine, including clean furniture, spaces that include art and nature views.
Innovative design for innovative learning
The classroom is not the only place students learn on campus. Students today prefer learning in environments that support ideas. If students feel that they are heard and understood, they believe their contributions will be meaningful and have impact. Spaces that support collaboration are ideal. Design these spaces with comfortable and easily cleaned lounge seating, like Kwalu’s Monserrato Lounge and the easily positioned and shaped Carisio Ottoman.
Sociable design encourages social learning
Education design that is informed by small groups on campus is smart. Information shared is information repeated. Information repeated increases retention. Smalls groups of students who can gather in areas where they can feel free to ask questions and share new ideas with each other will learn at a higher rate. Lounges with occasional tables and comfortable and functional seating, like the Diamante lounge collection and the Prato Ottoman encourage students to share their ideas.
Education design for refuel and recharge
Mealtime on campus is a time that students make and maintain friendships and make plans. Meals are primarily casual. Dining furniture on today’s campus includes bar and counter stools as well as casual dining chairs. Kwalu’s Sciara Bar and Counter stools are the right seating options for the relaxed environment where students can unwind and prep for the next day of study.
