Space Planning Guides

Practical blueprints for designing classrooms, libraries, cafeterias and other learning spaces that work.

Guide by FurnEdu

A room only works when the furniture, the layout and the teaching model agree. These guides cover classroom desk and chair sizing against EN1729 height marks, active-learning layouts and circulation clearances, dormitory density and storage, cafeteria flow and school library zoning.

Each guide includes the dimensions and quantities procurement teams actually need — students per room, square metres per student, aisle widths and the furniture schedule that follows.
