Creating a space where like-minded kids can feel comfortable, can build relationships, and work together is an important part of developing community.

Alexa Feldman, Interior Designer Coordinator, LPA Design Studios

Having a project-based classroom where there are multiple avenues to accomplish a task helps prepare students to think more creatively.

Thom Gibson, STEM & Robotics Teacher

The messaging that comes off of a building is telling our users, our clients, our parents, our investors, about the values and the beliefs that we hold, that are intrinsic with our identity, health and wellness, vision, purpose, and spirit.

Will LeStrange, Feng Shui Consultant

Gen Z knows where they’re heading in life, and what they’re expecting in their college—health and wellness and life balance and everything that makes a human a human.

Sylvia Kowalk, Director of Interior Design, Legat Architects

Socialization needs to be intentional. We need that expansive space, so students really are intentional about socialization, and are connecting with the people that they need to, in person, and getting the resources that they need in order to thrive.

Robin Randall, Director of Pre K-12, Legat Architects

Having furniture that is movable and adaptable with different patterns and colors is important. The more opportunities that we can provide for people to self-select, the more we can meet different people’s needs.

Flexible furniture and technology tools create a balanced environment to support all learning styles and abilities, to provide sensory stimulus, to improve focus, and to foster connectivity and collaboration.

Social-Emotional: I Belong

Configurable work and rest environments where users can socialize, problem solve, and work together on common goals promote a sense of community and belonging, bolstering empathy, compassion, emotional intelligence, and self-confidence.

Spiritual: I Can Breathe

Spiritual: I Can Breathe

Mindful spaces for breathing, reflection, and quiet introspection help provide opportunities for contemplative thinking. Overstimulated users benefit from calm moments, and may find balance in areas that provide moments of rest.

Physical: I Can Move

Physical: I Can Move

Ergonomic furniture that allows physical movement and easy positional changes, enabling proper posture and adequate stimulus, provides energy to engage and stimulate, while supporting high performance opportunities.

Psychological: I Feel Safe

Psychological: I Feel Safe

Balanced room design that includes spaces to recuperate alone or gather together provides a sense of belonging and safety. Optimal psychological development comes from allowing users the freedom to discover how they work best.

Moral: I Feel Empowered

Differences evaporate in spaces designed to encourage diversity of thought and collaboration. Empathetic growth can be achieved with inclusive furniture for accessibility and collaborative seating for open discourse: the tools that allow students to express themselves and hear one another.

The Six Key Facets of Human Development:

Social-Emotional

Intellectual

Psychological

Spiritual

Moral

Physical

Social-Emotional

Social-Emotional

Social-emotional development is our burgeoning awareness of our own and others’ emotions, feelings, and experiences. Being able to recognize, regulate, and move through emotions in school or the workplace can reduce conflict, and lead to a happier workplace or learning environment. When we are adept at social-emotional literacy, or the “soft skills”, we demonstrate greater capacity for leadership through empathy, communication, and conflict resolution.

Intellectual

Intellectual

Intellectual development refers to our ability to comprehend, reason, and make decisions. Each of us may thrive differently, depending on our specific needs, styles, and learning abilities. Experts suggest that balanced environments that provide both collaborative and individual space will help us expand our critical thinking and problem solving skills.

Psychological

Psychological

Our psychological development evolves throughout a lifetime and can be affected by events and circumstances. Trauma, isolation, bullying, and inequity can all influence our ability to learn and grow optimally. When we are in tune with our emotional and mental state, we are better able to navigate the world around us. Experts suggest that we thrive in multi-functional spaces that blend traditional structure with independence and personal workspaces.

Spiritual

Spiritual

Spiritual development refers to our connection with the human spirit. Practices like mindful breathing, journaling, or meditation can lead to a sense of harmony and an awareness beyond ourselves. Design can influence this sense of harmony. Spaces centered around music, art, and meditation are essential to lifelong spiritual growth. Using color, natural lighting, biophilic design, and the arrangement of furniture, rooms can be made to help increase our sense of self-compassion and inner peace, even in schools or the workplace.

Moral

Moral

Moral development is not just our fundamental understanding of the difference between right and wrong. We all, from students to those in the workforce, confront the daily challenge of wanting to feel included and accepted, and to feel our values are supported and shared. From a design perspective, environments that foster inclusion come from providing space and accessibility for everyone, so that spaces are not only functional, but provide a supportive sense of belonging.

Physical

Physical

A body that is comfortable and can move as needed without undue strain is vital for our well-being in school or in the workplace. Physical development and variety of action and position is an important consideration for any space design. This includes ergonomically-sound furnishings that will help encourage our physical health, as well as tools that will adequately stimulate, support, and provide comfort to learners, educators, and workers with differing needs and abilities.

An insightful and honest look at the importance of creating spaces that respond to today’s unique issues, this video reveals how MooreCo’s Thrive Philosophy supports human health and happiness. MooreCo has a finger on the pulse of current trends in learning, working, and personal growth to address developmental needs head on.
