Learning should be enriched by the places where it occurs. Studies indicate that a well-designed and properly equipped space significantly affects student performance – affecting their ability to work, communicate, interact and learn. Join us for this webinar where we take an in-depth look at how proper furnishing and interior design can transform the educational experience. Topics covered will include:

The latest trends in space planning and interior design
How layout, flexibility and furniture choice affect teaching and learning
The power of color, light, acoustics and IAQ
Maximizing your investment in the learning environment

Impact on Learning: Solving Real-World Problems, One Piece at a Time.

campusNovember 23, 2015

School Planning and Management Webinar

While we may agree that facilities DO impact learning, most institutions can’t afford to replace an entire building in order to bring it up-to-date. With this in mind, the Impact on Learning program was developed, not to focus on whole building design, but to focus on specific solutions that impact the learning environment — furniture designed to allow flexibility in the classroom and accommodate various teaching and learning styles; systems and equipment designed to save energy and protect the environment, while allowing money saved to be reinvested in education; products, materials and equipment that contribute to improved air quality, creating a healthier environment and reducing absenteeism; designs that improve student safety and security; technologies that facilitate teaching and engage today’s students.
