Ask any teacher... copy

Ask any educator – today’s schools and universities are much more than static learning spaces. They’re living laboratories of endless opportunity and growth. That’s why creating an inspiring 21st-century learning environment with the right furnishings has never been more important. Students and educators have new needs and expectations, requiring shifts in the way we think about buildings and learning spaces.

Frost-Barber, Smith System, and Steelcase Learning are focused on helping K-12 schools, colleges and universities create the most effective and inspiring active learning environments to meet the evolving needs of students and educators. It’s time to move forward and use what we’ve learned to make learning better.
