My Project

We are trying to update spaces our students use with modern, comfortable modular seating with a lounge-type atmosphere. We are still left with the lingering effects of COVID on our students social-emotional development. It is so important that middle school students build their social skills in their interaction with their peers.

A comfortable, inviting sofa would be the perfect place for them to hang out and relax during lunch.

Studies show that bright colors improve emotional outlook so we want to build a space where they can work and play together in a clean, safe environment.
