Education space solutions | Gaze

Enhancing learning outcomes

A thoughtfully designed educational space can significantly boost student engagement and achievement. By optimising the layout, ensuring ample natural light, and incorporating ergonomic furniture, we create environments where students can learn efficiently and comfortably. Our designs focus on reducing distractions and promoting a smooth workflow, enabling students and teachers to perform at their best.

Fostering collaboration

Modern educational spaces need to encourage collaboration among students and staff. We design schools and campuses with versatile spaces that can be used for group projects, discussions, and casual interactions. These collaborative areas are essential for fostering innovation and teamwork, driving academic excellence forward.

Improving wellbeing

Student and staff wellbeing is at the heart of our educational designs. We incorporate elements that promote physical and mental health, such as comfortable seating, adequate ventilation, and access to green spaces. By creating a healthy learning environment, we help reduce stress and increase overall satisfaction, leading to higher retention and engagement.

Reflecting institutional identity

Your educational space is a reflection of your institution's values and culture. We ensure that our designs align with your educational philosophy, creating a cohesive and professional image. From colour schemes to furniture choices, every detail is meticulously planned to enhance your institutional identity and make a lasting impression on students, parents, and visitors.

The importance of educational space design

1. Consultation & discovery

We start by understanding your educational goals, culture, and the specific needs of your students and staff. Our consultative approach ensures that we capture every detail and requirement, allowing us to design a space that perfectly aligns with your vision.

2. Space planning, design & documentation

Our design team works closely with you to develop a layout that optimises space usage while balancing functionality and visual appeal. We produce detailed floor plans and 3D renderings to help you envision the final result. After finalising the layout, we produce a complete set of detailed drawings and secure any required consents & statutory approvals.

3. Implementation

Once the design is finalised, our project managers oversee the entire implementation process. From selecting materials to coordinating with contractors, we ensure that every aspect of the project is executed flawlessly and on schedule.

4. Handover & support

After the completion of the project, we conduct a thorough walkthrough to ensure everything meets your expectations. We also provide ongoing support to address any concerns and make adjustments as needed.

Our approach

Flexible learning spaces

In today’s dynamic educational environment, flexibility is key. We design adaptable spaces that can easily be reconfigured to accommodate different teaching styles and group sizes. Movable furniture, modular classrooms, and multipurpose areas are some of the features we incorporate to create flexible learning environments.

Biophilic design

Incorporating elements of nature into educational design, known as biophilic design, has been shown to improve student wellbeing and focus. We use natural materials, plants, and access to outdoor views to create a calming and rejuvenating atmosphere.

Technology integration

A modern educational space needs to be equipped with the latest technology to support seamless learning. We integrate smart solutions such as high-speed internet, interactive whiteboards, and advanced security systems to ensure your educational space is future-proof and efficient.

Sustainability

Sustainable design is not only good for the environment but also enhances the appeal of your educational space. We use eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient lighting, and sustainable practices in our designs to create green learning environments that reduce your carbon footprint.
