The design and functionality of a classroom go hand in hand. Educators know that it’s vital to provide an environment conducive to learning and convenient for teaching to achieve success during the school year. A well-designed classroom allows for focused studying and purposeful teaching, while an environment with sub-optimal design forces teachers and students to spend valuable time adjusting the room to fit their needs.
Elements of Successful Custom Classroom Design
What makes a classroom the perfect environment for learning? Having a clear and functional design from the beginning that incorporates all of the following elements:
- Ample, easy-to-access storage. Storage is often one of the most challenging aspects of classroom organization. Teachers and students need to be able to readily access supplies and materials, but the space should not be obstructed or cluttered. Custom designed cabinetry uniquely fitted to the shape of the classroom is an excellent way to make the most of any available wall space.
- Clean, uncluttered design. Experts agree that an uncluttered classroom allows for focused learning. Custom designing the furniture and casework in a room so that it is both clean and cohesive will promote a peaceful atmosphere for studying.
- Comfortable areas for instruction and independent study. Every classroom should be comfortable. For instance, lab tables should be spacious enough for experiments, walkways should be easy to pass through, reading nooks should have open space,
- Adaptable and customizable design. The classroom must adapt to the needs of the students and teachers. Incorporating modular design, specific safety features and other intentional elements can help make the classroom a functional space that students and teachers can take ownership of.
- Integration with technology. These days, tech is all around us. And often, the classroom is no exception. Classrooms should integrate with technology in a way that they are fully equipped with necessary tech integrations, but that also allows for technology to be set aside for more traditional learning.
