Today’s students don’t just learn in classrooms—they study in lounges, brainstorm in hallways, and build community in common areas. That’s why universities and colleges are rethinking how their spaces work. At COE, we help higher education institutions design for the full campus experience by offering dynamic, human-centered solutions from Haworth, a leader in adaptable learning environments.

Whether you’re outfitting a new building or reimagining existing spaces, we’ll help you create campus settings that support focus, flexibility, and collaboration.

A Campus Built for the Future

College and university environments are rapidly changing. Through our work with Haworth, we support institutions in creating spaces that align with today’s learning behaviors and tomorrow’s possibilities.

Here’s how we think about designing for modern education:

• Embrace Flexibility – Spaces should evolve as needs shift.
• Design with Intention – Creative, purposeful design supports experimentation and innovation.
• Offer Variety – Students and faculty benefit from having options in how and where they work.
• Foster Belonging – Physical environments should encourage interaction, collaboration, and connection.

The best learning environments reflect the diverse ways students engage with content, each other, and the campus community.

Five Key Space Types to Consider

COE helps schools think beyond traditional layouts by identifying five foundational types of learning spaces:

1. Solo Spaces – Quiet areas for focused, individual study.
2. Group Spaces – Designed for teamwork, collaboration, and peer interaction.
3. Flexible Spaces – Adaptable layouts in public zones, like entryways or student centers.
4. Residential Spaces – Furniture solutions that blend comfort and functionality in student housing.
5. Specialized Spaces – Customized designs for labs, studios, and athletic facilities.

Every campus has unique needs. Our job is to match the right mix of environments with your community’s goals.
