Higher Education and Adult Learning: Ideas, furniture, space concepts | VS
University and adult education successful learning for a lifetime
Do we ever stop learning? Fortunately not, we have an innate drive to learn. What changes are the demands on learning - and also on learning environments. How exciting for a furniture manufacturer like us, which specialises in promoting curiosity through inspiring spaces and intelligent concepts - including for universities and all areas of adult education.

Interior design and learning – what is relevant for universities
Adults are also becoming more demanding when it comes to their expectations of learning formats and room design. In schools, they have often experienced what works to make learning easier, more efficient and more effective. Why should they do without it in their further education?
Flexible learning
The design of learning spaces that are customisable and support both group and individual work is becoming increasingly important. Flexible furniture and modular room concepts promote interactivity and creativity among students.
Integration of technology
The integration of technology into learning spaces, e.g. through interactive whiteboards, video conferencing systems and VR applications, is changing the way courses are organised. They can be made more flexible and individualised, more sustainable and more up-to-date. To ensure that this succeeds, we always think about people, furniture and media together and develop concepts including consulting and training.
Encourage creativity
Learning environments such as maker spaces or innovation labs promote practical learning and experimentation. These spaces should provide inspiration and stimulate creativity.
Social interaction
Learning also needs community. Spaces that promote interaction between students are crucial for social exchange and a sense of community. Lounges, group study rooms and informal meeting places play an important role here.
