Elementary Flexible Arrangement Classroom with Trapezoid Tables

Flexible Classroom Furniture for Elementary Schools: Adaptable Learning Spaces

Transform your elementary classroom with furniture that easily adapts to work with various lesson styles, from traditional lectures to hands-on group projects. Since this classroom's layout can change several times a day, furnishings are mobile or lightweight to make new arrangements effortless. The flexible classroom gives students freedom to choose workspace types that work best for them, whether traditional school chairs, soft seating, or wobble stools. Research shows that when students control their space, they participate more in class discussions and collaborations, and even perform better on standardized tests.

Requirements for a Great Flexible Arrangement Classroom

For Students: The best flexible learning space should include furnishings that keep students comfortable so they can focus on work. Students should select from various workspace and seating options, have easy access to supplies, and move around the room with ease. Mobile or easy-to-move workstations make it simple to arrange into large or small collaborative groups.

For Teachers: The flexible classroom should be easily arranged and rearranged to accommodate demonstrating ideas to the whole class or arranging students into smaller collaborative groups. Variety in seating and tabletop options helps keep students focused and attentive throughout the day. Configurable furniture assists in arranging spaces to accommodate student work while easy-to-use organizational systems keep setup and cleanup quick and simple.

For Administrators: The flexible learning space should be equipped with products selected for specific facility needs. All products must be available when needed and arrive on time. Installation must be quick and efficient to minimize classroom disruption.

Layout Zones

Configurable Workstation Area

Designed to allow students easy transition between individual work and collaborative projects or discussions:

Collaborative Desks - Can be used for individual work or quiet study but easily arranged in groups for projects or discussions. Students can work in large or small groups while brainstorming or solving problems. Flexible workspaces allow educators to present concepts to the entire class before students break into groups. Laminate tabletops easily wipe clean.
Mobile School Chairs - Constructed from durable, reinforced plastic supporting students as they lean back. Smooth, anti-static seats don't require metal backrests, preventing hair or clothing snags. Rolling casters make it easy for students to move seating around the room as needed.
Mobile Whiteboards - Can be easily rolled around the room, allowing teachers to present concepts and students to brainstorm. Spacious writing surfaces let users write down ideas or progressively disclose information when presenting. Can also section off workspaces when needed.

Tech Workstation Area

Accommodates technology in the classroom with specially designed workspaces:

Activity Tables - Offer spacious surfaces for students to work on laptops or devices while spreading out notebooks or other project materials.
Stools - Give students freedom of movement as they focus on activities. Backless seats promote good posture and strengthen core muscles.
Soft Seating - Offers comfortable seating for students working on devices. Lightweight construction makes this seating easy to move around the room.
Charging Cart - Keeps all classroom devices charged and ready for use. Locking doors keep them secure overnight while heavy-duty rolling casters easily maneuver over any flooring. The top doubles as additional storage or presentation surface.

Storage Equipment Area

Makes collecting and distributing supplies simple while keeping unneeded materials out of the way:

Lockable Storage Cabinet - Secures devices or materials requiring teacher supervision. Locking items away reduces distractions by keeping tools, supplies, and projects out of view. Teachers may also use this cabinet for securing personal belongings.
Mobile Bin Storage Carts - Can be rolled directly to student work areas for easy supply distribution and collection. Clear bins make locating needed materials simple, and they completely remove from units for workstation use. Large and small bin sizes accommodate various storage needs.
