A Furniture Idea Book for 21st Century Learning Environments

HBA was recently tasked by Virginia Beach City Public Schools to create a “Furniture Idea Book for 21st Century Learning Environments”. This book was created to serve as a resource for VBCPS when purchasing furniture and equipment for their secondary schools. It shows the furniture that is being used in the newer schools in the area, such as Kellam High School, and proves that there are opportunities to transform the learning environments in older buildings by strategic purchasing of furniture. The typical classroom and lab layouts shown in the book can be utilized in older buildings – improving the learning environment without renovating the physical space. Virginia Beach City Public Schools plans to expand this book to include furniture layouts for elementary schools as well.
