Interior design for schools and universities
Schools and universities support teaching, individual work, collaboration and reading. Establish the programme, user numbers and furniture needs before arranging rooms.
Educational design considers sightlines, hearing, lighting, movement, varied activities and adaptable layouts. Evaluate suitability with users; a modern arrangement alone does not establish improved student grades.
Review circulation, access, storage and rearrangement while keeping exits and usable areas clear. Flexibility serves identified activities; it does not require an open plan everywhere.
