Rethinking science education spaces


Learning without limits

Equipment becomes more “plug and play” when collaboration exists between utilities and flexible furniture. This is where the fun part of design comes in, by situating all the support utilities (gas, electric, water) sensibly, flexible furniture from our Liska™ range allows the space to be reconfigured to suit teaching and learning requirements.

Clever and plentiful storage options are a key feature of our lab designs, alongside focus walls and demonstration areas.


Make your practical spaces inspirational and future-flexible.

Change room layouts to suit specific activities

Switch layouts rapidly in session, and update your space to suit your project activities.

Adapt spaces for future users + technologies

Offers flexibility in the design with multiple adaptable layouts to fit specialised pedagogy.

Pedagogical alignment + skills development

Offer your students and teachers layouts and options for collaboration, creativity and presentation.

Evolve and adapt YOUR space

Design engaging science laboratories that combine our flexible furniture system with a variety of application-specific equipment. 

Quality equipment can be underutilised if the surrounding lab architecture is not conducive to optimum performance and inspiring students and improving learning outcomes.

Our designers plan for interconnection between the practical and theoretical aspects of teaching Biology, Chemistry and Physics.

Spaces should inspire – a visually striking lab space does play an important role in engaging students. This holistic approach also helps toward versatility in lab designs, particularly helpful since technology is moving faster than the labs are being renovated.

Coming soon!

Designed in collaboration with science educators, Liska™ is in development.

A range of flexible furniture, including mobile elements, designed to support the delivery of a varied theoretical and practical science education in schools, colleges and universities.

Designed and manufactured in the UK by WF Education Group specifically for use in future-flexible educational environments.

If your school or college is refurbishing or creating new science teaching or preparation spaces, this guide is for you. 

“Your Laboratory Design Guide” has been written specifically for departmental staff, facilities management, and school leadership to support decision-making alongside architects and space planners and help ensure you have a facility that is fit-for-purpose for years to come. 

Uncompromising health and safety

FULLY COMPLIANT WITH HEALTH AND SAFETY REGULATIONS

The services, equipment, chemicals, and materials used in school laboratories make them a ‘danger area’ under health and safety regulations. 

We select all our furniture, fixtures, and fittings according to Department for Education (DfE) Building Bulletins and recommendations by ASE/CLEAPSS/SSERC.

The WF team can offer ongoing support and technical assistance regarding equipment post-installation.
