Modular seating is a range of different-sized and different-shaped units that can be configured together to form virtually any seating layout imaginable. But as well as being very practical, modular seating has many other benefits.

1) Reinvigorating old or worn rooms quickly and easily
We’ve seen bright and bold coloured modular seating  inject a new lease of life into old and shabby common rooms in schools up and down the country. And what’s more, it was done by simply dropping some units into place; there was no need to rip up carpets, paint walls or go through similar hassles.

2) Improved communal atmospheres
Given the way this type of seating can be configured, most of the schools we have worked with have found that the atmosphere in their common rooms have become much better. Students are sitting together in mixed groups and conversation is rife (when it is allowed to be!).

3) More opportunities for shared learning activities and group debates
Due to its free-standing and widely-configurable qualities, modular seating provides increased opportunities for group debates and shared learning activities amongst students in common rooms and break rooms. Therefore, in a roundabout way, modular seating actually acts as a platform for student development.

4) Teachers have more freedom to construct new and innovative lesson plans
Seeing as seating can be rearranged into almost any layout within a matter of minutes, teachers will be able to devise various new lesson plans based around teamworking activities which can be carried out thanks to your new modular seating.

5) Improved attitudes in students
We realise that not every student will show his or her appreciation for money invested in them, but many of the teachers we have dealt which claim they have seen a positive change in the attitude of students who feel proud of their ‘new’ common rooms and feel a sense of ownership thus treating it with more respect. One teacher even told us that a group of boys had shelved their mischievous behaviour in favour of playing chess in their common room!
