Higher Education Welcoming Spaces
Blog – April 19, 2021
As each day passes, we move closer to normal and while we are not sure what ‘normal’ will look like this fall, we do know students want welcoming spaces on campus now more than ever.
Welcoming smooth surfaces on campus
Education design that can adapt to change quickly while maintaining attributes that will remain the same is the bases for these welcoming environments. 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.
Welcoming green education design
Providing green spaces on campus could improve test scores, increase mental health recovery and allow for more relaxation areas. Visit a campus today and you’ll discover students studying outside appear to enjoy studying more than those who spend hours in the library. Design that brings the outside in with large picture windows, plants and artwork creates inviting spaces that can make a difference in how students learn. Kwalu has lounge chairs and occasional tables that welcome and support collaborative.
Welcoming flexible education design
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 by Kwalu is seating that works at a dining or study table, in common areas and dorm rooms. The seating line also has bar and counter stools.
