Conventional Classrooms, Labs, Halls & Libraries Instructor-led time in classrooms can be greatly enhanced by ergonomic seating through increasing attentiveness and student performance. Classrooms, science labs, large halls and libraries each have unique priorities. Requirements for rows of seating, work surfaces, seating capacity, sight lines and power/data access are all paramount when furnishing these spaces. With an increasing need for rooms to accommodate multiple functions, furniture that can be quickly reconfigured becomes imperative. This flexibility

and space efficiency is a vital addition to any learning environment. In addition to this, ergonomic seating remains a top priority as student comfort leads to improved attentiveness and better learning outcomes.

Dynamic & Collaborative Spaces In active and dynamic spaces, students work together on assignments, share laptops, and become deeply involved with the material they are studying.

At KI, we create seating that supports a variety of interactive and collaborative activities – from teaming; projects, presentations and discussions to individual research and reflection.

As learning environments continue to change, KI furniture changes with your space and pedagogy needs. It is designed for fluid, dynamic classrooms, where a lesson might lead to collaboration, to working individually and then back again to a group discussion. Light-weight, durable and adaptable chairs allow for rapid customisation of learning spaces, so students can rapidly reconfigure their setting to suit each task.

Technology-focused Rooms Today’s technology-driven students are learning at the speed of a click or tap. They expect 24/7 internet access to be able to study or tackle homework anytime, anywhere. Technology is everywhere. ‘Smart’ classrooms and computer labs can demonstrate a school’s vision and commitment to advanced technological learning environments. KI enhances these learning environments by providing ergonomic seating that offers maximum comfort, promotes good posture and facilitates mobility.

Cafe & Dining Areas Common rooms, breakout areas and dining rooms historically have served as a place for students to gather for conversation and social activities. Now, when students meet in these spaces, they’re likely to bring a laptop, smartphone, and other electronic devices that allow them to socialise and do academic work at the same time. A dining space must enhance student collaboration or be a more relaxing, inviting place to share food and information. Wherever you have food, people will gather. No one ever just sits and eats. They come to eat and talk, eat and read, eat and check email.

Orion Primary School The Orion Primary School’s new facilities are designed to be multifunctional with some even being used by the local community. Through a vibrant colour scheme, the new designs create a fun and engaging learning environment for the near 1,000 pupils at the school. Durability and aesthetics were therefore of paramount importance, so KI’s iconic Postura+ chair was the natural choice. Postura+ stackable seating was the perfect solution for the school. In keeping with the very colourful building, a total of 9 different colours were delivered, including Lime Green, Grape Crush, Sun Yellow and Poppy Red. Light weight and highly durable, making it perfect for impromptu outdoor lessons. “Isis chose the Postura+ having used them on a number of previous projects. The colour range means that we could offer the school the opportunity to have different coloured chairs in different areas to create a fun and engaging learning environment.” Sarah Piers, Project Manager & Nick Bingham, Head of Projects, Isis Concepts

Chelsea Academy Chelsea Academy selected Intellect Wave and Maestro seating from KI for their new building after an extensive evaluation process involving students and teachers. The seating was found to be appropriate for the aspirational new facilities, but also robust and fit for purpose. During a period in temporary accommodation, groups of students and teachers were asked to evaluate a selection of classroom furniture from different manufacturers, one of which was KI. The evaluation and selection processes were broken down into different criteria including how well products withstood the test of time in terms of practicality; how easy the product is to maintain; durability, quality; where the products are manufactured; and value for money. ”The aim of including staff and students in our evaluation process was to enable the students and staff to have an influence over and pride in their environment, as well as serving as an educational process for the students. Both students and teachers found, after a terms use, that some chairs that had appealed to them in the first stages of the process had not worn well enough towards the later stages of the evaluation process, collecting dust and dirt very easily. Other products, initially shortlisted, weren’t as efficient when it came to undertaking classroom activities and group sessions. The students & staff judged that chairs provided by KI conformed to all their criteria. As a result, the academy selected chairs from the Intellect Wave and Maestro collections. The products look appealing to the eye, are easy to maintain and above all the quality of the furniture match our expectations. They are durable, tough and cost effective.” Janet Perry, Financial Director, Chelsea Academy
