Furnishing the Future: Adaptive Solutions for Modern Learning Spaces

03/12/25

On this episode of Schools in Focus, we'll talk about the role that classroom furniture plays in creating adaptive, flexible learning spaces. Our guest is Wesley Edmonds, the Director of Workplace, Adaptive Solutions at OFS. We'll talk about how layering furniture selection into the initial design phase can help maximize a facility's square footage and student interaction. We'll also discuss how different pieces meet different needs, from collaboration and active learning to quiet study spaces. We'll touch on designing for neurodiversity, the impact of design thinking on quote-unquote "fixing education," and a couple specific case studies that put these theories into practice. This episode of Schools in Focus is sponsored by ROOM.
