Well, contemporary educational environments can be incredibly demanding. Some would even assert that students these days are under more pressure than ever before. Passing those all-important final exams later is only made possible by the correct tuition being provided week after week. Attending lectures is essential to a student’s overall learning development, as well as them attaining the required grades, to progress to future study, or straight to their chosen career.
It’s not all work, work, work, though; attending lectures in a space purpose-built to facilitate maximized learning can be a pleasure, something to really look forward to; especially if modern auditorium/lecture hall seating has been installed.
Lecture Hall Seating That Aids Learner Concentration
Some lectures can last for three hours+. And what about those occasional all-day seminars?! Students need to feel comfortable throughout in seating that’s been designed to allow users to concentrate fully upon lectures, debates, Q & A’s, and other types of educational presentations. You could call this "design with determination"! Schools, universities and other places of learning will benefit from the functional beauty of lecture hall seating, like this project for a high school in Brieuc designed specifically to help the learning process.
It’s not ‘just’ about comfort; seats must be stable, easily cleanable, and tough as well as plush. Add to this useful built-in extras, such as writing tables, cup holders, translation feeds, Wi-Fi, phone charging options, and other convenient additions, and your giving students every chance to learn effectively; they can always look forward to attending lectures knowing that their needs will be fully catered for, meaning that they can get on with the job of looking, listening and learning.
The Fabulous Flexibility Of Lecture Hall Seating - Every Project Is Unique
Unlike many other buildings that host events, a lecture hall is intended for a specific purpose, really, isn’t it? That makes things easier for designers in one sense, but it certainly doesn’t mean that a kind of ‘one-size-fits-all’ off-the-peg seating solution is what leading lecture hall seating manufacturers generally provide. If they did, they wouldn’t have become leaders.
Specialists successful in providing seating solutions to lecture halls worldwide will know that every project is – and should be treated as – unique. As well as the designing of individual seats and stand structures, there are other important factors to consider. During the pre-production phase, seating experts will ask key questions, such as:
- How can the educational environment be optimised?
- What demands of the environment will the seats and stands need to withstand?
- How flexible must the stand be?
- Is 360-degree rotation going to be necessary at times?
- Might floorspace need to be released on occasions?
- When learning is interactive and collaborative, how might students expect to learn in pairs, or in small groups, and how can the seating design be created to facilitate this?
Great Seating Designers Never Stop Learning
The good news for lecture halls is that all these questions can be answered, and the different requirements met, with ease, thanks to modern seating design innovation. There are so many options, so much that inventive seating experts can do. And when taking on a particularly complex seating design challenge at a lecture hall, there’s always the added bonus that they might also learn something new!
