What do you see as the future of the interior education space in the next few years?
Interior educational spaces are undergoing a major paradigm shift as new technologies are added to the learning environment. We will see technology transform the geometry of the classroom, the way classrooms are configured, and the way material is presented to students. No longer will every classroom be structured for a stand-and-deliver presentation from the instructor. The technology that students use everyday such as iPhones, Facebook and YouTube will find niches in the learning environment. Educational spaces will demand flexibility to adapt to collaborative learning styles. Students will thrive in well-designed spaces that will provide each student an opportunity to discover their optimal learning style.
