Creating the optimal conditions for learning requires product solutions designed to address all the unique needs of education spaces. Optimal acoustics, air quality, natural lighting and aesthetics work together to impact how students understand teachers, stay focused and even perform on tests. To rebuild Boston's schools for the future we must look for new inspiration that can help provide both students and educators with a safe place to grow and work. This session is an insight into best practices, and what we need to do to succeed with implementation – which is critical to secure the future of Boston’s schools and all who uses them.
