Teachers' Lounge

Teacher's Lounge Design & Furniture Solutions

The teacher's lounge offers educators and other faculty members a private space away from students where they can socialize over coffee, eat lunch, meet with other staff members or plan lessons. Spacious, café-style tables allow teachers to spread out a newspaper or look at a device as they eat, and comfortable soft seating gives them a cozy area where they can meet or just relax. Shelving provides storage for personal belongings and message boards offer a convenient place to post reminders or communicate ideas to other staff members.

Requirements for a Great Teacher's Lounge

For Faculty

For Administrators

The teacher's lounge should be furnished in a way that meets the needs of their school's faculty members. Products must be readily available and delivered on time. Installation should be quick and efficient.

Teacher's Lounge Layout Areas

Gathering Area

Provides teachers and other faculty members with a comfortable place to socialize over lunch or coffee breaks:

• Pedestal tables: Perfect for coffee or lunch breaks. Spacious tabletops allow teachers to use devices or read a book as they eat.
• Café chairs: With contoured seats and backs are sure to keep teachers comfortable. The smooth anti-static soft plastic construction prevents annoying shocks, and the lightweight design makes them easy to pick up and move.

Soft Seating Area

Provides cozy seating for social gatherings or small, informal meetings:

• Soft seating: Offers teachers an inviting, relaxing space where they can socialize, read, or work on lesson plans. These lightweight seats are easy to pick up and move around the area as needed.
• Powered furniture: Accommodates technology use with built-in outlets for charging devices.
• Low tables: Provide a surface where teachers can put coffee mugs, personal belongings or reading material as they use the soft seating.
• Dry-erase board: Provides a large writing surface that's great for brainstorming ideas during informal meetings. The magnetic surface lets teachers display reminders or memos.
• Bulletin board: Provides an additional place where teachers can tack reminders, notes, calendars and other papers that may need to remain posted for longer durations.

Storage Area

Keeps books, files and personal belongings tidy and organized:

• Open shelving: Can be used to store books, personal belongings, decorative knickknacks, a collection of coffee mugs, and more.
• Mail sorter: Helps teachers and faculty quickly find and access their mail and other memos.
• Mobile utility cart: May be used to move supplies to and from the teacher's lounge. Rolling casters easily maneuver over any flooring.
