Our Approach
Up to 90% of learning happens outside the classroom. Support the rhythm of learning. Formal learning is just one part of the total experience; students’ learning needs and behaviors fluctuate significantly beyond the classroom. A range of spaces that are flexible and offer choices assures they can select the best places to match varying needs for individual focus, informal collaboration and social learning. Place matters because people matter. The places where we come together need to care for the physical, cognitive and emotional wellbeing of people. They need to provide us choice and control over where and how we work. They need to respect and reflect who we are as individuals, teams and organizations. They need to be places that make us proud of who we are, what we do and how we work. Love How You Live, Learn, & Work.
For years Steelcase has studied education with a unique, human-centered design research process. We observe educators and students at work and test design principles, product ideas and applications with the goal of improving student success, while immersing ourselves in the relevant research of others in such fields as learning research, cognitive neuroscience, environmental psychology, behavioral and social sciences and ergonomics.

For us, it all began with a fire. Offce fires were a serious problem at the turn of the 20th Century, so we designed a metal wastebasket that didn't burn. It may seem like a simple idea now, but that’s what innovation is all about—solving problems in new ways. A lot has changed since then. But, one thing has remained the same. We are driven to innovate and help people have a great experience at work.
