Higher Education and Adult Learning: Ideas, furniture, space concepts

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.

A learning and working area was equipped by VS Systemhaus with mobile NF-Move chairs and standing tables TriUnion as well as interactive whiteboards.

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.

Rooms that invite you to learn

Spaces have an effect. They shape, enable and empower. They support, move or hinder learners and teachers and thus influence the quality of learning and teaching. Are you looking for ideas for spaces in which (young) adults can also learn in a stimulating way?

Interactive momentum

Universities and adult education institutions must ensure that their premises are accessible to all students. This includes not only physical accessibility, but also the consideration of different learning styles and needs.
