Learning Space Design

Learning is more than memorising facts and formulas; learning is a way of thinking and an approach to life.

A trend is growing in educational circles to eliminate the large, immovable teacher’s desk that has occupied the front of every classroom for centuries.

The physical learning environment has a powerful impact on students' social and emotional landscape. 

School communities often seem eager to adopt new ways of teaching and learning but can’t always visualise what this would look like or how it would function after the change.

Imagine sitting in a room coloured entirely in red. Chances are high that you will feel agitated, perhaps with a little anger …

Some of the furniture chosen in these six classrooms was not only some of our most popular items, but some of our latest items that can suit 21st century learning. 

There have been significant pedagogical developments in teaching & classroom layout during the last century, both in Australia and around the world.

Our iteration is adapted from Michael Fullan's 2014 New Pedagogies for Deep Learning and offers new insight in how modern and flexible learning spaces can make a difference to student learning.

The BFX Furniture team worked with Burnside State High School to completely transform their outdated and worn manual arts room with brand new wood working and metal working benches.

Prahran High School is a uniquely designed contemporary school part of a thriving education district that includes Melbourne Polytechnic and the National Institute of Circus Arts.

This comprehensive guide provides a solid foundation with helpful information to design engaging classrooms for special needs students.

The project involved furnishing classrooms across years 1-6, as well as 3 common areas that can be utilised as teaching and learning spaces.

The industrial model that has been the driver of education in Australia since 1793 is obsolete and we now have the opportunity to recontextualise the New-New learning environments of the future.

A future-focused vision for education recognises that today’s and tomorrow’s learner will face a very different future from generations past.

Grade 5 teachers document the process they and their students went through to design their own classrooms, with a little help from our BFX 3D Room Planner.

The furniture here from BFX has been awesome. I'm finding the furniture really helpful for my teaching pedagogy.
