Creating an inviting, functional space that supports student success and attracts future enrolment is essential for today’s educational institutions.
CRS Interiors works closely with schools, academies and universities to modernise facilities, helping them meet evolving learners needs and achieve their goals, while ensuring safeguarding requirements are met.
Our recent project with Bosworth Academy showcases how these improvements promote student engagement, enhance the learning environment, and increase a school’s appeal to prospective students.
We explore this case study and the importance of creating adaptable, pupil-centred spaces that support both academic focus and social connection
Educational spaces have a profound impact on students. A well-designed and executed environment can inspire learning and encourage community, making it crucial for schools to prioritise their facilities.
1. Supporting wellbeing
Safeguarding is fundamental in educational settings. Well-designed spaces contribute to the physical, emotional and mental wellbeing of all occupants, creating secure environments where learners feel safe.
Features like inclusive and accessible spaces, as well as welcoming communal areas ensure a supportive atmosphere for all students.
2. Flexible learning areas
Not all pupils learn the same way. Providing a variety of spaces, such as quiet study zones and collaborative workspaces, accommodates diverse learning styles.
For instance, sensory rooms and designated quiet areas can reduce stress and improve learning outcomes by catering to individual needs.
3. Reflecting educational values
All schools, academies and universities have values they abide by. Modern facilities can reflect a school’s commitment to providing a nurturing learning environment.
By investing in infrastructure that meets educational demands, schools can enhance their reputation and increase their appeal to families and students.
Our recent project with Bosworth Academy serves as a prime example of how transforming educational spaces can enhance student experience.
The Academy identified a need to modernise their sixth form facilities to attract prospective young adults and create a more conducive learning environment.
To achieve these goals, CRS Interiors partnered with HSSP Architects to completely overhaul the existing area, focusing on creating distinct yet complementary spaces for study and relaxation.
The outcome was a vibrant, multifunctional hub, carefully designed to reflect the needs and aspirations of students. The new layout includes an inviting coffee shop-style social area with comfortable, flexible seating, complemented by a quiet study zone with acoustics tailored for concentration.
