Offices

What can the design of school environments learn from the design of office environments? As someone who strongly believes that ‘informed plagiarism’ is the most effective way to approach most problems, my answer would be – a lot. 

However, it is striking just how much the commercial sector has learnt from the innovative spaces being created within the education sector. Yes, the brief for any company workplace strives for efficiency – but it will also prioritise creativity, innovation, and collaboration as essential elements of the modern , successful business. Sound familiar?

When we compare schools to offices let’s remember that both are about outcomes and both are about people.
