The solution

Collaborating closely with staff and students, Innova Design Group delivered a science laboratory that optimises space, minimises clutter, and ensures smooth transitions between theoretical and practical work. The design allows both teachers and students to move freely, creating an efficient and dynamic learning environment.

To support hands-on experiments, central workbenches were equipped with additional gas taps, power sockets, and sinks, establishing dedicated zones for practical activities. This strategic layout minimises unnecessary movement around the classroom, enabling students to concentrate fully on their tasks. To further declutter work surfaces and reduce distractions, essential services were integrated into the front of the benches, while pop-up sockets provided a space-saving power solution.

Storage was thoughtfully planned with under-counter units lining the central benches and perimeter workstations. High-level cabinets with glazed doors added attractive, accessible space for storing books and equipment. The inclusion of a dedicated demonstration area at the front of the room ensures students have a clear view during teacher-led practical sessions.
