Media
Create seamless integration with a range of media and AV equipment including Smartboards, interactive screens and projectors. We can include secure laptop storage compartments and tablet charging units into your design.
Shelving
We build your teaching wall to maximise space and accommodate your storage requirements. Built-in cupboards, trays and shelving are a great way to keep learning environments free from clutter and create a calm and organised space. Adjustable shelves and open compartments ensure flexibility and easy access, whilst lockable doors or drawers keep expensive equipment safe and secure.
Top Boxes
Leveraging the use of vertical space, top boxes provide additional storage in overhead compartments to store materials that teaching staff may not want students to have readily available access to. This keeps costly or fragile equipment safe and secure.
Sink Units
The provision of a sink area offers additional hand washing facilities to support hygiene and for use in specialist areas it provides a facility to wash messy equipment after use so it can be cleaned and stored away for the next practical session. These are often high-use areas that nurture independent learners and must be carefully designed using long-lasting and robust materials.
Display
Display equipment, such as sliding whiteboard doors can be included in your design to create a stimulating focal point in your learning space and keep students engaged with a range of teaching aids.
Teacher Desk
We can incorporate a dedicated space for a teacher’s desk within your teaching wall design. This is a valuable space where teachers can organise their materials, plan lessons and keep their belongings secure.

Design Services
Our in-house design team listen to what you want to achieve and with support from our experienced Furniture Consultants, will guide and transform your ideas into well-crafted design concepts.
We offer a survey and consultation service, and can measure up or work from floor plans to provide accurate space planning. Using Revit software we produce 3D renders to help you visualise the space, bringing the project to life. We support you by creating mood boards and providing samples to assist with your selection of materials and finishes.
If our standard modular systems do not meet your requirements, we can design and install bespoke solutions tailored to your specific needs.
Planning Guide
The purpose of a teaching wall is to maximise storage space and support teaching staff with easily accessible learning aids and resources. Students benefit from an organised and functional environment for learning and by leveraging floor space more options for different room layouts are created. Key considerations are:

Brief
Space
Our experienced Furniture Consultants assess the space and measure up or work from detailed floor plans. The Department for Education’s ‘Building Bulletin 103’ sets out area guidelines or Area Data Sheets (ADS) that advise Primary learning spaces should have 50 – 62 square metres of space for 30 pupils, and Secondary learning spaces should have 55 square metres of space for 30 pupils. As space is at a premium, planning and space saving solutions are a prerequisite to creating an optimal learning environment.
Design
Our in-house design team have decades of experience working on education projects and ensure designs comply with the FF&E requirements set out by the Department for Education. Designs must ensure students of all ages and abilities can access the environment and resources. For general teaching areas for all year groups the provision of chairs, tables, storage and display equipment is essential. Depending on the key stage then further areas and activities must also be accommodated. Our teaching wall designs ensure you can allow for everything students need as well as the space to move safely and freely in their surroundings.
Furniture
With access to the widest choice of furniture and equipment for education, we offer advice throughout the product selection process, guiding you through BS EN standards, mood boards and product samples to try out.
