Analysis
Define the end result
The Next Education® needs analysis lays the foundation for how your learning spaces should be designed to support students and school staff the best way possible.
INTERIOR DESIGN SOLUTION
From idea to action
We help you translate the needs analysis results into a design concept, layout and tangible drawing. We go through ergonomics, functions and sustainability.
IMPLEMENTATION
Introducing the potential
Through our own efficient logistics and delivery system, we deliver and install your interior completely according to drawing. We help you introduce and implement environments, furniture, ergonomics and working methods so that everyone understands the potential.
Follow-up
Knowing is better than guessing
Based on your needs analysis, you can then continuously follow up on how your learning spaces are working and identify whether your needs have changed.
Next Education® learning space analysis
Our Next Education® learning space analysis helps you gather valuable knowledge and data before designing your learning spaces. With specially developed tools, our experienced learning space strategists guide your management and decision-makers in working on the vision, goals and framework for the project. Through workshops, lectures and a web survey, they then help you map needs and work patterns and involve school staff and students in a well thought-out way. We focus on thinking ahead and inspire you to open up to new ideas about how your school can be optimised and used to best support your daily activities. The efforts you need to put in are time, planning, management-led change and staff/student engagement. The analysis provides you with facts, a solid knowledge base and a qualitative basis for how your learning spaces can be designed to best meet your needs.
