Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine were looking for integrated technology furniture for their new Active Learning Lab.
Active learning encourages deeper thought, analysis and collaboration in order to strengthen learning and requires furniture that facilitates this. zioxi integrated M1 collaborative desks were the chosen solution.
Seven M1 desks were positioned around the room in a circular configuration each accommodating eight students. Dual screens were installed at the end of the desks allowing the students to collaborate together by sharing images from their screen with the other students at their own collaborative desk or around the training room.
The space needed to be multipurpose with computers provided for student use. These computers also needed to be hidden away when necessary to allow for laptop use withing the space. The M1 mechanism is the perfect way to do this. Simply press to reveal the monitor, mouse and keyboard, which all rise out of the desk ready for a learning session.
Different colours were used to differentiate each bank of desks and comfortable chairs were added to finish the space.
Collaborative tables with integrated pop up PCs.

With it’s granite counters, sleek white tables and chrome-framed chairs, the multi-coloured skylight communal dining area looks and feels nothing like a school. And that’s the point – the beautifully designed spaces and high quality furniture makes both students and staff feel respected and valued.
Jesmond Gardens Primary School has nine class bases – each with mobile, agile furniture so the layout can be easily changed. The furniture in each class base is the same but they all look and feel completely different.
