Interactive Lecture Classroom with Workaround Tables

High School Interactive Lecture Classroom Design & Furniture Solutions

The interactive lecture classroom aims to keep students engaged with their lesson material by combining traditional lectures with breakout periods. Students have opportunities to engage directly through collaborative discussions, brainstorming sessions, and independent assignments. Tables should be arranged for easy movement and reconfiguration into small groups, while spacious work surfaces assist teachers with class-wide demonstrations and presentations.

Interactive Lecture Classroom Layout Zones

Student Workstation Area

Designed to accommodate both independent and collaborative work:

• Collaborative tables: Spacious work surfaces allowing students to work independently and in groups. Table shapes designed so all students can see each other for equal participation. Thick tabletops withstand heavy use with laminate surfaces that clean easily.
• Flexible school chairs: Constructed from durable, reinforced plastic supporting students as they lean back. Smooth, anti-static seats don't require metal backrests, preventing snagging of hair or clothing. Lightweight design makes them easy to move around the room.
• Mobile whiteboard easels: Easily rolled to workstations for student brainstorming and idea capture. Can also section off workspaces when needed.

Teacher Area

Provides everything educators need for teacher-led discussions and demonstrations:

• Teacher desk: Personal work surface with storage pedestals beneath the tabletop to keep supplies and belongings organized.
• Teacher chair: Ensures educators remain comfortable while mentoring students or grading assignments.
• Mobile markerboard: Allows teachers to write notes or assignments while lecturing. Rolling casters make it simple to move anywhere in the room.

Storage Equipment Area

Keeps the classroom organized so students and teachers can quickly access supplies without consuming class time:

• Mobile bin storage cart: Rolls directly to students for easy supply distribution and collection. Clear bins make it simple to locate materials and can be removed for workstation use. Large and small bin sizes accommodate various storage needs.
• Locking storage cabinet: Secures devices or materials requiring teacher supervision. Locking items away reduces distractions by keeping tools and projects out of view. Can also secure personal belongings.
• Charging cart: High-capacity device charging with locking doors for secure overnight storage. Heavy-duty rolling casters maneuver easily over any flooring, with the top doubling as additional storage or presentation surface.
