Design Challenges in Laying out your Classroom

The school classroom is probably the space we all remember. For some there will be all fond memories and others there will be a mixture of feelings.
These places none the less are likely to be the environments which proved to be formative in most of our lives.
However much the memory of our school days is clear for us, unless the experience is very recent and we were the sort of person who is most aware of their surroundings, it is likely that the actual space and how it was organised was not very important to you. It just was.
The fact that the design of the classroom you remember does not figure high in your memory is probably that which indicates how well it worked. If you did remember it, it would probably be because of the deficiencies. You would most likely remember the lack of space or difficulties of learning in such a space.
Designing a classroom with effective storage shelves, cupboards, coat and bag hanging arrangements, drawers for teaching materials, seating, chairs, desks, displays and notice boards, resource materials, tables, bookshelves and so much more, creates the working environment enjoyed by children and longed for by teachers.
Getting this combination right takes expertise. Sometimes those who are using the facilities are just too close to understand the critical requirements. Sometimes the best insight on use comes from the pupils themselves.
Bringing someone who understands the critical requirements of a busy classroom is essential to enable the space to be designed well. Taking account of all of the needs of an environment which demands so much is no mean task.
Providing a high quality environment for the formative years of our children is critical, the detail may be overlooked by the pupils who use the space but undoubtedly there will be an impact which may well translate into their home or working environment of the future.
