A good workspace fosters higher productivity.\u00a0The importance of workspace layout<\/a>\u00a0is clear for a 21st century learning space now more than ever. Whether it is for\u00a020 kids in a classroom<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a020 adults in a corporate environment<\/a>, a collaborative layout increases engagement. A good collaborative space also improves cost efficiency by cutting down on how much space you need for each individual. But what does a collaborative space actually look like when done well? Which seating arrangement is most ideal to facilitate interactive and collaborative activities?<\/p>

While collaborative furniture helps, buying furniture is not enough to improve a space. The best seating plans also consider who is using the room\u2014and how they are using it\u2014to maximize the benefits. If you want to refresh your traditional seating arrangement,\u00a0SMARTdesks<\/a>\u00a0has you covered. We\u2019ll go over ways to improve your space, whether it is a classroom, training room, or hybrid work environment. We\u2019ll also discuss some great options for\u00a0modal, customizable furniture<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

How Does Seating Arrangement Affect Learning?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The way you arrange people in a space influences who will or won\u2019t participate. Most know firsthand the effects a traditional row seating arrangement has on learning. Kids who sit in the front\u2014close to where the teacher stands\u2014tend to be more engaged<\/a>. Students in the back are often left behind both figuratively and literally. The same thing occurs in lecture halls, where hundreds of students attend a single class. It\u2019s not surprising that more and more\u00a0studies<\/a>\u00a0show the importance of seating arrangement in a classroom. A study from the\u00a0Journal of Learning Spaces<\/a>\u00a0found that an active \u201cerased the line between instructors and students, which encouraged interaction and led students to feel closer personal connections with their instructor and their peers, creating a sense of community and enhancing student engagement.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

But the value of a good seating arrangement does not only apply to learning in a classroom. Interactive learning happens anywhere that a group of people comes together. Working Americans, for example, have expressed their desire for improved learning spaces.\u00a0The Fellowes Workplace Wellness Trend Report<\/a>\u00a0found that almost 90% of workers wanted better spaces to work in, citing amenities such as \u201csit-stand desks\u201d and \u201cergonomic seating.\u201d Even more workers were willing to stay at a company that provided these amenities.\u00a0<\/p>

We know the effects of a bad arrangement. We also know that people desire better spaces to learn, engage, and create. But what does a better, more collaborative space look like?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

While other common seating arrangements could potentially increase engagement, each situation is unique; therefore, each space requires its own unique seating arrangement to be effective. Creating the best seating arrangement for a room involves examining three key factors:<\/p>

\u25cf The purpose for the space<\/p>

\u25cf The users of the space<\/p>

\u25cf The qualities of the space itself<\/p>

Let\u2019s examine each of these closer, with some case studies of how you might choose to lay out your space.\u00a0An expert<\/a>\u00a0consultation will help you answer these questions in better detail.<\/p>

Design for the Purpose<\/b><\/p>

How do people use the space? What sorts of activities will take place there? What technologies will users need? Furniture is more than a place to sit; it also supports the space\u2019s intended use. Chatham Middle School in New Jersey, for example, fitted their STEM lab with custom desks suited for their curriculums. The triangular-shaped desks seat three pairs, while rounded corners provide building space. The tables house power and data sources that come from the floor so that students have immediate access to what they need to work on their projects. The ample spacing leaves teachers room to navigate amongst pods. It also provides space for students to test their creations on the classroom floor.<\/p>

Certain spaces need more flexibility in their daily arrangement, depending on different uses.\u00a0Some types of furniture<\/a>\u00a0are modular, allowing for different seating arrangements\u2014changing the room from group workspaces one day to solo workspaces the next day. The furniture you choose for a space must be as flexible as your needs for it, with a variety of uses.<\/p>

Design for the Users<\/b><\/p>

Who are the people who will be in the space? Why are they gathering? Do they know each other, or are they meeting here for the first time? While the pod seating may work for Chatham Middle School\u2019s STEM classroom layouts, it would likely not work for a hotel lobby. If you are designing a training room, you will likely be working with groups of people who are strangers to each other. In cases like these,\u00a0active collaboration tables<\/a>\u00a0provide flexibility while also equipping the space with the needed technology. For example, combine the desks when the participants need to do group work activities or rearrange them for a one-sided presentation. If computers are needed, incorporating tech into the desks with built-ins makes it efficient and simple to stow away devices when no longer needed.<\/p>

In a post-COVID world, it is also important to consider virtual attendees. While they may not be physically present, remote participants should not feel they are lower priority\u2014this is especially important in workplaces where hybrid work environments are common. Keller Anderle LLP, a law firm in California,\u00a0prioritized a hybrid layout<\/a>\u00a0when developing their workspaces. In their case, a collaborative office desk design accommodated their use of AV technology, making it easier for Keller Anderle to represent their remote workers in conference rooms.<\/p>

Regardless of who the intended user is, every space should accommodate anyone, including those with physical disabilities. At SMARTdesks, our designs follow\u00a0ADA standards<\/a>, so the space is perfect for \u201cevery body.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Design for the Space<\/b><\/p>

What kind of room is it? How much physical space is there to work with? What sorts of conditions exist? Temperature, materials, and lighting\u2014both natural and artificial\u2014all contribute to the feeling of a space. Designing for the space involves centering the usage and the users. You want to have enough room for workers to operate. You also want to make new employees comfortable enough to learn alongside strangers.<\/p>

Designing for the space also includes matching the aesthetics of the room. Your furniture should not look like an afterthought but rather ought to feel like a part of the room itself. Here at SMARTdesks, we offer various ways to customize your collaborative furniture. We have many options for material choice, size, or construction. We also work with you to ensure your solution is\u00a0custom-tailored to your space<\/a>. Truly, there is no limit to the possibilities!<\/p>

One thing to keep in mind is that your solutions do not have to be uniform across the room. You may need some group-oriented areas, while others remain suited to individual work. Keep in mind that configurable furniture allows space for creativity and flexibility.<\/p>

Using the three traits above as a starting point, let\u2019s look at some of the different clients of SMARTdesks. We will also examine how their unique conditions created unique solutions. Each of these clients had different problems and different goals for their space. Often, customized solutions developed based on their specific needs.<\/p>

Here are a few real-world examples of collaborative spaces done well:<\/p>

The Makerspace (New Jersey Institute of Technology)<\/b><\/p>

The Makerspace<\/a>\u00a0unifies advanced technology with a traditional classroom lab setting. Our collaboration coupled their computer resources with the CNC equipment they used, enabling the use of equipment in the same space where they learn about it. Their multi-use classroom features whiteboards and\u00a0motorless monitor lift desks<\/a>. Thanks to these desks, students access computers when needed and stow them when it is time for a lecture. Downstairs, the space houses a multitude of design equipment for students to use.\u00a0<\/p>

Harkin Computer Lab (Gallaudet University)<\/b><\/p>

In some spaces, technology presents a unique challenge. For the\u00a0Harkin Computer Lab,<\/a>\u00a0cable management provided a tough problem. Even a retrofitted raised floor could not solve their clutter issues. They also had troubles with maintaining power box access for each station.<\/p>

After some extensive collaboration with us, they used\u00a0Collab\u00ae tables<\/a>\u00a0to route power sources via a central tube that runs through every table. Doing this eliminated clutter and simplified access to power sources. We also designed a fixed, decorative cap that stored power and data boxes in the center of the tables for the final touch on this custom solution designed for the Harkin Computer Lab. Placing power boxes here maintained access while keeping the desks from looking cluttered.<\/p>

Advanced Technology Center (Gulf Coast State College)<\/b><\/p>

Adaptability is crucial for any space. In some cases, it is critical to operation. Enter the\u00a0Advanced Technology Center (ATC)<\/a>: a 93,500 square foot,\u00a0LEED Gold<\/a>\u00a0building that centers collaboration and interactive learning. The ATC makes extensive use of collaborative furniture. Their modular room designs match their unique, interdisciplinary approach to education. And each piece of furniture in the facility augments the learning environment, including the\u00a0Pi Laptop & Computer Tables<\/a>\u00a0and the configurable\u00a0iGroup Active Learning Tables<\/a>. The furniture solution for the ATC helps them pursue their goal of \u201charnessing the wealth of talent in our area to accelerate economic development and job creation.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Collaborative spaces offer a lot of benefits to various learning environments. Whether it is a classroom, training room, office space or lecture hall, a good layout enhances:<\/p>

\u25cf Communication\u2014creates an environment that eases and enhances the sharing of ideas<\/p>

\u25cf Flexibility\u2014accommodates your daily needs, and fulfills various purposes in one room<\/p>

\u25cf Engagement\u2014keeps all occupants as active participants in discourse, work, and learning<\/p>

\u25cf Productivity\u2014gives your users the tools, space, and setting they need to succeed<\/p>

\u25cf Learning potential\u2014increases interaction, energy levels, and discussion, leading to discovery<\/p>
