College + University
During college, a student’s future sharpens into focus. Successful higher-ed environments foster the critical thinking, team collaboration and problem-solving that employers will want.
Preparing them for the future
The education stakes peak during college and university years. Student learning grows deeper and more complex. Their focus is maximizing their college investment and career preparation. Students have much higher expectations for instructors, subject matter and learning spaces.
Create spaces for around-the-clock learning
Higher-ed students want the physical, cognitive and emotional support to study anytime, anywhere. That requires highly versatile, design-forward furniture in flexible, tech-accessible environments. Furniture must quickly expand for group work and contract for solo study.
Smith System furniture resonates with college students and instructors. We furnish spaces campus-wide, from classrooms and libraries, to labs and Esport lounges – plus the valuable in-between spaces that invite students to plop, pause and plan.
