Design and Technology

Design engaging Design and Technology spaces that combine our mobile and flexible furniture system with a variety of application-specific equipment.

We understand the connection between physical learning spaces, relationships, methods of interaction, and the whole learning experience.

The challenge

The challenge of twenty-first-century learning is in creating environments and spaces in which teachers can teach and learners can learn most effectively to succeed.

Learning takes a dynamic form when students have the opportunity to practise what they have been taught. No one can predict how education, technology, and teaching modalities will evolve, therefore, learning spaces must have the ability to adapt to whatever changes the future may hold.

Our spaces consist of mobile furniture and flexible systems that can be easily reconfigured, to support a breadth of  Design & Technology applications and layouts.

Our cleverly designed mobile and modular Akira™ range brings flexibility to technical, practical learning spaces and will provide you with better utilisation of space with flexibility in layout and application. 

Engaging Spaces for Design, Technology and Engineering.

WF Education delivers state-of-the-art specialised spaces for the teaching of Design and Technology. We have a long history of providing the education sector with workshops and learning spaces; over £3 billion worth of educational facilities in the last five years.

Fit-for-purpose spaces motivate and capture the imagination of students, to design, develop, test and manufacture products of the future.

Introducing the Akira™ range

Transform the utilisation and application of your technical and practical learning spaces with our range of fully mobile furniture. Akira™ offers flexibility in application and layout to traditionally inflexible Design & Technology classrooms and workshops.

Akira™ consists of modular and mobile furniture and quality equipment to support the creation of flexible spaces for modern learners.

Reconfigure a room quickly and easily, to create layouts to suit teaching styles and activities. These include configurations for group work, solo study, presentation, competition, and lecture style.

One system, infinite configurations.

Create infinite configurations with mobile storage, workbenches, group working arrangements and desking.

Make the best use of your dedicated spaces as rooms can be reconfigured easily and upgraded fast to adapt to the curriculum and teaching requirements.

The room configurations below have been designed using the same number of individual mobile furniture elements.

What skills are your students developing in STEM?

Pedagogical analysis around the world is filled with a variety of critiques on the balance between the learning of knowledge and the learning of skills. In real terms within our education systems, is it this black and white? Is it one or the other?
