Choosing the Right Furniture  For the Campus & Hippocampus

The college campus is a complex ecosystem of interconnected spaces, each playing a vital role in supporting the success of students and faculty. We focus on understanding how these spaces function holistically across campus – insight that has become a cornerstone of our success with clients.

Your Campus Ecosystem

Whether helping to shape classrooms, dorms, or labs, our deep expertise in human-centered design guides everything we do.

At VS, we believe that spaces should inspire innovation, promote well-being, and foster collaboration – evolving alongside the needs of students and faculty.

Classrooms

As student expectations continue to evolve, so should classroom design. Incorporating increased square footage, flat landscapes, varied heights for sitting and standing, and mobile furniture supports dynamic instruction and collaboration – creating spaces where groups form naturally, and instructors can move freely.

Makerspaces

Creative, project-based learning helps students across disciplines develop essential skills – from engineering to the humanities. Thoughtfully designed makerspaces invite all students to engage in the creative process by offering visible, organized tools and materials alongside zoned areas for brainstorming, collaboration, and creating. 

Libraries

Libraries are transforming to meet diverse needs and evolving learning styles. From makerspaces and recording studios to cultural hubs and social areas, these dynamic environments are vital campus resources. Choosing adaptable furniture helps spaces change over time, supporting the campus community in new and innovative ways.

Laboratories

Today's labs are designed to attract diverse researchers by providing dynamic spaces – a shift from the sterile spaces of the past. Flexible layouts, natural light, and sustainable materials foster collaboration and healthy behaviors. Mobile storage consolidates equipment and encourages spontaneous interactions, driving innovation across fields.
