Education & Classrooms of the Future

OPTIMIZE FLEXIBILITY OF CLASSROOM

FURNISHINGS

One Space, Many Uses: Select

multiple-use furnishings for

use within classrooms. Provide some

height adjustable tables. Select

seating that can support a variety

postures and provides flexibility to

support a smooth transition between

individual and collaborative activities.

Change Your Point of View: The

ability to easily change the

focal point of interaction between

students and the teacher is important

to support different teaching styles—

and a diversity of cultural learning

norms.

Specify classroom furnishings that

can be easily moved by faculty

and students to create different

configurations within the space.

OPTIMIZE FLEXIBILITY OF FACILITY AND

CLASSROOM SPACES

Learning Happens Everywhere:

The facility is one part of a bigger

system—the campus—and thus

should be designed to support

informal learning and intellectual

sharing as the dominant social activity.

Support a Variety of Group Activities:

Create small breakout rooms or

larger spaces suited to formal and

informal meetings, with the right

furnishings and technology for the

work at hand.

“Always On” Learning Culture:

The facility should be designed

to facilitate learning, not just during

regularly scheduled class hours, but

also for study groups, independent

research, open lab time, and other

innovative uses to maximize the return

on investment.

OPTIMIZE FLEXIBILITY OF TECHNOLOGY

A Virtual World: The technology

provided to support learning

in the classroom should be easily

updated, accessible for all users, and

have remote capabilities.

Maximize Safety: Ensure that

technology devices and

their input devices are specified

and arranged to minimize awkward

postures and support the flow of

teaching and learning tasks.

Zone the Technology: Consider

placing whiteboards or other

display technology at several locations

within the classroom. Ideally, vary the

lighting intensity within different areas

of the classroom to suit different types

of concurrent work.

Whether you are planning new academic spaces

or remodeling to accommodate technology,

Knoll understands that modern classrooms, well-equipped

laboratories and efficient libraries are the core of the

academic community.

Our high-performance products are designed for

any mode of work— individual, focused work;

shared work centering on the casual exchange of ideas;

or team work that depends on the collective wisdom of

the group.

Community spaces are important informal learning

and social areas. Knoll offers ANSI/BIFMA tested

furniture designed to meet the functional requirements of

diverse high traffic areas ranging from atriums to cafeterias

and breakout spaces to residential lounges and common

rooms.

Knoll continues to lead the way in re-imagining furniture

for ever-changing, demanding 24/7 environments.

We offer a diverse range of finishes, materials and product

details which enhance product performance and allow

individual client expression. KnollTextiles fabrics and

education facilities.

E N D U R I N G Q U A L I T Y F O R D E M A N D I N G E N V I R O N M E N T S

Learning environments are under constant change.

Technology, teaching methods, enrollment… all

regularly stretch the abilities of the physical space and

put it in jeopardy. Older buildings are most endangered,

yet they bring a sense of stability and history to their

neighborhoods. It is our duty to provide students with

schools to support learning and buildings that support

society.

By creating agile and highly functional interiors, the

building itself becomes impervious to the winds of

change. DIRTT Walls offer the ability to adapt to changes

large and small. They support today’s technology and

whatever comes tomorrow. Each Wall is designed as you

need, functionally, dimensionally and aesthetically.

D I R T T E D U C A T I O N O P T I O N S

The parametric nature of the Walls means you further

design them to suit your building, your furniture and

your culture. Using DIRTT’s intelligent, 3D software called

ICE®, you experience your space in real-time, interactive

3D and modify it to create the exact space you want.

Every change you make is automatically updated in the

quote, specification and production information.

As it always does, technology will change. DIRTT

Walls are impervious to change. Universal mounting

abilities – inside and outside the Walls – mean whatever

comes next will fit without demolition and rebuilding with all

the attendant noise, material disposal and energy waste.

DIRTT Walls do not predict the future. They just go with it.
