Designing Dining Commons
to Serve as Multipurpose Hubs
for Socializing and Study
Versatile Layouts and Furniture
Modern dining commons in colleges are designed with flexible layouts that can be easily reconfigured. Tables and seating are movable and adaptable, allowing the space to transition seamlessly from dining areas to areas suitable for group projects, meetings, or social gatherings.
Integrated Technology
Spaces are equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi, power outlets, and often digital displays or projectors. This integration supports not only dining but also collaborative work and individual study, enabling students to use their laptops and devices efficiently.
Ambiance and Zoning
Modern dining commons are thoughtfully zoned to cater to different activities simultaneously. Quiet zones might be designated for individual study, while other areas are more open and conducive to social interactions and group work, all within the same facility.
Learning Space Considerations
In addition to being wheelchair friendly, the room needs to provide space for guide dogs, assistants and equipment (such as recording devices), and should be designed to meet specific ADA guidelines, such as accessible doors, hardware and signage.
Wall Space
Capitalizing on wall space is an easy way to gain flexibility in the classroom. Walls need open areas for whiteboards or projection screens. It is also important to leave space for acoustic panels to reduce unwanted noise.
Ancillary Space
Learning doesn’t stop inside the classroom and a secondary, more informal environment is needed to digest information. Common areas should be close but not directly adjacent to the training room so that their foot traffic isn’t distracting to those inside the room.
Flooring
Choose a low-pile commercial carpeting for improved acoustics. Look for a pattern that will remain stylish until you plan to renovate the room (approximately 10 years) and will not highlight the inevitable spills of everyday use.
Lighting
Proper lighting sets the stage for a productive learning environment. Lighting needs to be set to evenly light a room with the riight color temperature and brightness for the task at hand. Today's LED lighting systems are both energy effiecient and adaptable for learning and education.
Technology
The moden learning environment requires tables and seating that are designed to work with laptops and mobile devices. Falcon makes tables and booths equiiped with USB and charging stations. As technology evolves, Falcon adapts and incorporates the changes into its furniture design.
