Leverage Real-Estate

Leveraging real estate in lounge spaces, hallways and common areas is simple: give users the means for control, comfort and collaboration. These attributes can change the simplest in-between space into a multipurpose workspace, allowing students to maximize space and support choice and control over their learning.
