Universities and colleges are becoming increasingly aware of the need to offer their students a modern learning environment; an environment which reflects the technology-led world in which students communicate and live; introducing state of the art furnishings is a great way to start. At Ultimate, we have recently successfully worked with Leeds City College, Leeds Trinity University College and South Trafford College to create outstanding modern education environments.
Modern classrooms have undoubtedly come a very long way from the regimented rows of desks which were a feature of traditional learning environments. A great deal of research has been carried out in recent years to try to discover how the surroundings in which children and students study affects the way in which they learn.
As a result, it is now widely recognised that the classroom environment has a massive impact on learning and that providing the right environment leads to huge improvements in knowledge sharing, behaviour and student-teacher relationships. A well-designed, modern education environment is not just about the way a school or college looks inside, the right furniture and fittings have been proven to have a positive influence on the learning and health of those studying in the building. ‘Traditional’ styles of learning environment are still appropriate for some types of learning, however many colleges and universities are increasingly embracing a modern approach to all aspects of education environment design and this is reflected in the design work carried out by Ultimate.
