Join us on September 26th for a virtual panel discussion on all things educational furniture! Flexible. Agile. Adaptable. Classrooms aren’t the same as they used to be, and neither is the furniture. The traditional classroom has transitioned into a modern, collaborative, learning environment. Learn how designers, furniture specialists, and educators can work together to design learning environments to better support individual learning styles and student-centered teaching. Learn why it takes more than design and construction to create successful educational spaces and how professional development for educational furnishings helps educators maximize the potential of their learning environments. Attendees will gain insights into current trends and practical strategies for overcoming deployment challenges, hear about successes and challenges on projects, and discover how well-designed furniture can turn classrooms into vibrant learning hubs.
