NanaWall Systems, the leader in opening glass wall systems, cordially invites you to schedule a continuing education breakfast, lunch or dinner seminar entitled “Innovations in Education Design Using Opening Glass Walls” Our knowledgeable Architecture Consultant and Local Representative will present
the information you need to confidently incorporate operable glass walls into new-build and renovated schools from K-12 and higher education learning environments. We will review the common challenges in educational settings that operable glass walls can help to overcome. You will review the changes happening in educational design in response to the growing acceptance of the 21st Century Education model. You will learn the differences between folding and single-track sliding wall systems and how and where they are used. Learn how independent tests verify the impact of fresh air and daylight in classrooms for students including improved health, attentiveness, learning capacity, and attendance. View imaginative new applications and case studies in all aspects of Educational Architecture.

Learning Objectives:

Identify & recognize the significance of flexible space in school design to safely accommodate variable educational needs.
Assess the health and welfare aspects of glass wall systems in terms of providing daylight and views to students, teachers, and staff.
Explain the importance of acoustics to meet the requirements for green school design, improve student performance, and create a better indoor environment.
Determine ways to incorporate the design principles presented into building project documentation as shown in project examples.
