Supporting a contemporary pedagogy for the school, the design challenges traditional constraints of teaching and explores the creative potential of the learning process.

Each learning area suits a different style of teaching and learning – from collaborative spaces to areas for quite reflection or structured presentations.

 

Teachers are able to book spaces according to what is necessary for their lesson.

Flexible, multi-purpose furniture allows teachers and students to take control of their environment and engage in the creation of dynamic, exciting spaces for learning.
