Education & Classrooms of the Future
D E S I G N F O R L E A R N I N G : T H R E E R E C O M M E N D A T I O N S F O R H I G H E R E D U C A T I O N
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
Spinneybeck leathers offer a broad spectrum of high-
performance upholstery options appropriate for higher
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.
