Materials for Education

Important conversations are taking place across all industries on how interiors can be redesigned to better protect our health, safety, and welfare. For K-12 schools, colleges, and universities, uncertainty remains as plans for reopening are being determined. COVID-19 is teaching us that designing for well-being is a major goal.


Higher Cleaning Standards:


  • Products like bleach and other disinfectants, which meet the EPA criteria for use against the coronavirus, will inspire more confidence in keeping students of all ages safe.
  • Antimicrobial finishes that can weaken or kill pathogens are in demand for high-touch surfaces.
  • Although evidence suggests that it’s harder to catch the virus from a soft surface such as fabric, routine cleaning and disinfecting is recommended.

Durability:


  • Designing for cleaning and disinfecting by specifying smooth, easy-to-clean surfaces will help lower the risk of infection.
  • Cleaning protocols, especially for common touch surfaces, will need to be enhanced and more visible to help students and staff feel more at ease.
  • Upholstery textiles for communal spaces, such as libraries, dining halls, and study centers, must be inviting and able to withstand heavy abuse.

Spatial Planning:


  • Space planning with social distancing in mind may require sound-absorbing moveable barriers, allowing for more flexible spaces.
  • Communal settings such as libraries and study centers will benefit from furniture that can be easily rearranged.

Color Trends

  • Creative color schemes for gathering places such as cafeterias and residence halls can make students feel more connected to the college community.
  • Incorporating natural colors and materials into these schemes will be essential in providing a buffer for students who are in a stressful academic environment.
