Interior Design & Fit Out On the buses with Heckmondwike’s Pure Care carpet Lots of schools have their own library but not many have one in a former bus! Thanks to Heckmondwike, one of UK’s leading carpet manufacturers, St Andrew’s School, Oswaldtwistle in Lancashire, now has hard-wearing, aesthetically pleasing Pure Care carpet in its new library bus, creating an environment perfect for pupils to enjoy reading. The static library bus at St Andrew’s School, was gifted to the school by a parent who works for Moving People Ltd and refurbished by B&G Sears Ltd of Blackburn. The school wanted to create an interesting library bus interior that was hard-wearing, bright and easy to maintain. Heckmondwike’s Pure Care offered the durability and visual appeal needed for this project. Available in 8 colours, Pure Care also offers high stain resistance and still feels comfortable, essential with young children. St Andrew’s was also keen to reflect its school colours in its choice of flooring for the library bus, so Pure Care in ‘Sapphire’ was the perfect choice. Flooring design plays an important role in creating stimulating learning environments, which is why it is so important to find a hard-wearing carpet that can withstand the demanding school environment and retain its appearance for many years. Pure Care and Total Care are Heckmondwike’s tufted carpet solutions; they are ideally suited to educational establishments, whether in classrooms, corridors or school office areas. Available in different pile weights, both types of carpet feature a fully impervious backing, are highly resistant to staining and cleaning products. They are also manufactured to meet all relevant flammability tests and offer antistatic properties. Another popular carpet for schools is Supacord. Available in a choice of 42 colours and renowned for being able to withstand heavy wear and tear, it retains its aesthetics and performance properties for many years. Schools are also choosing colourful carpet for their entrance areas too and some schools also opt to have their school branding, colours and/or ethos integrated within their entrance area carpet to add impact and reinforce the values of the school, as soon as pupils or visitors walk through the door. Sample cards are available on request by calling 01924 413637 or by using Heckmondwike’s online sample form. www.heckmondwike-fb.co.uk Furniture for active learning – creating maker-centred learning spaces The maker movement is drastically altering the environment and culture of our classrooms. By understanding this evolution, we can ensure learning spaces are best prepared to embrace this new active way of learning, ensuring teachers and students can make the most of their time together. The maker culture features a connected and personal focus on active learning and doing, nurturing the skills required in the workforce of the future. Teachers are becoming mentors, and distributed teaching and learning is occurring throughout a fluid, interdisciplinary process. A makerspace is by nature one that facilitates and encourages this dynamic learning method. The conventional idea of a classroom, linear and constrained, must be erased. By thinking outside the traditional 4 walls of the classroom, we can promote uninhibited exploration, support movement, interaction and collaboration – not just between teachers and students, but between the students themselves. Here are a few ideas and common themes observed across the maker movement: Flexible storage: Maker-centred learning involves prototyping, crafting and iterative processes. Design-based approaches to problem-solving require access to supplies and a safe place to store work-in-progress. Storage within the space should be mobile, vary in size, and provide easy on-demand access. Worksurfaces: Students need a platform where they can do both individual and group work. A worksurface isn’t just for a notepad or laptop anymore, it must accommodate other learning tools that enhance and reinforce agency (the capacity to make choices and decisions). Seating: Adaptive seating easily allows students and teachers to move throughout a space, giving them the freedom to reconfigure layouts. Additionally, movement not only facilitates new ways of learning, it is beneficial to human health. An active learning space discourages a sedentary culture, whilst improving concentration, retention, productivity and wellbeing for students and teachers. Writable worksurfaces: Surfaces for expressing and sharing ideas – marker boards, magnetic or stickable walls allow students and teachers to generate and synthesise ideas as they work through the creative design thinking process. www.kieurope.com 18 Winter 2018 <strong>4152</strong>
