Art & Design classrooms and Textile Design workspaces need to be multi-functional as it will host a wide range of art and design educational activities.

​

Large work surfaces give students the opportunity to undertake some “big” creative thinking.

​

Good classroom flow is essential to enable students to participate in group work as well as individual pieces of art & design.

​

Our furniture and storage designs take into account the use of the full range of materials for student creativity from pencil & paints through to fabric used in fashion design.

​

We can design and fit out art and design classrooms with equipment to cover a full range of activities:

​

• Research & Evaluation – Clean spaces with large tables and networked computers for design, research  and report writing

• Creative Work – Large work surfaces for painting  or suitable areas for textiles and sewing machines, screen printers equipment, 3D Printers

• Presentation – Interactive whiteboards, projectors, video & audio equipment for remote learning

​

Safe and secure storage of equipment is always factored into our classroom designs to ensure equipment can only be used by students when needed or removed by authorised staff.
