LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS TO MEET ACADEMIC GOALS

DIRTT EDUCATION OPTIONS
L
earning environments are under constant change. Technology, teaching methods, enrollment‌ all
regularly stretch the abilities of the physical space and put it in jeopardy. Older buildings are most endangered, yet they bring a sense of stability and history to their neighborhoods. It is our duty to provide students with schools to support learning and buildings that support society.
B
y creating agile and highly functional interiors, the building itself becomes impervious to the winds of
change. DIRTT Walls offer the ability to adapt to changes large and small. They support today’s technology and whatever comes tomorrow. Each Wall is designed as you need, functionally, dimensionally and aesthetically.
DIRTT TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS
T
he parametric nature of the Walls means you further design them to suit your building, your furniture and
your culture. Using DIRTT’s intelligent, 3D software called ICE®, you experience your space in real-time, interactive 3D and modify it to create the exact space you want. Every change you make is automatically updated in the quote, specification and production information.
A
s it always does, technology will change. DIRTT Walls are impervious to change. Universal mounting
abilities – inside and outside the Walls – mean whatever comes next will fit without demolition and rebuilding with all the attendant noise, material disposal and energy waste.
DIRTT Walls do not predict the future. They just go with it.
