CASE STUDY
Creating Modern Learning Environments at Laurence Calvert Academy
OSI Office & Educational Furniture was proud to support Laurence Calvert Academy in Leeds with the supply and installation of furniture across a range of learning environments, including specialist science laboratories, teaching classrooms and student breakout spaces.
Working closely with the academy, we delivered practical, durable and modern furniture solutions designed to support both teaching and student wellbeing. The project focused on creating functional spaces that would withstand everyday educational use while providing a welcoming and engaging environment for learners.
From fixed laboratory furniture and classroom seating to comfortable collaborative breakout areas, the completed installation helps provide students and staff with spaces that are ready to support learning from day one.

SCIENCE LABORATORIES
Modern Science Laboratories Designed for Practical Learning
Creating effective science learning environments requires furniture that balances durability, functionality and safety. For Laurence Calvert Academy, we supplied specialist laboratory furniture designed to support practical teaching while providing students with a comfortable and organised workspace.
The completed laboratories feature fixed benching, integrated service points and hard-wearing laboratory seating, helping to create a professional learning environment capable of supporting everyday science lessons for years to come.
The clean, contemporary design also helps maximise visibility throughout the room, allowing staff to effectively supervise practical activities while maintaining an engaging teaching space.
TEACHING CLASSROOMS
Creating Flexible Spaces for Everyday Teaching
Alongside the specialist science facilities, Laurence Calvert Academy’s teaching classrooms were furnished to provide practical, comfortable and adaptable learning environments for students and staff.
The selected furniture offers a clean and modern appearance while remaining robust enough to withstand the demands of a busy secondary school. Classroom layouts were designed to maximise teaching space, improve visibility and support a variety of learning styles.
By combining durable classroom tables with comfortable student seating, the finished spaces provide a welcoming environment that supports concentration, collaboration and everyday classroom activities.
BREAKOUT SPACES
Supporting Collaboration, Wellbeing & Informal Learning
Modern schools require more than traditional classrooms. As part of the project, Laurence Calvert Academy introduced a dedicated breakout area designed to support collaboration, independent study and student wellbeing.
The space combines comfortable soft seating with an open and welcoming layout, creating an environment where students can work together, hold informal discussions or simply enjoy a change of setting throughout the school day.
Flexible breakout areas such as these are becoming an increasingly important part of contemporary school design, helping to create a balanced learning environment that supports both academic achievement and student wellbeing.
Creating a variety of learning environments allows schools to support different learning styles, encourage collaboration and improve the overall student experience.
PROJECT OUTCOME
Delivering Learning Spaces Ready for the Future
The completed installation at Laurence Calvert Academy has helped create a collection of modern, practical and welcoming learning environments that support both students and teaching staff.
From specialist science laboratories and traditional classrooms to collaborative breakout spaces, each area was carefully furnished to meet the academy’s requirements while providing long-term durability and flexibility.
The result is a series of spaces that not only look impressive but also support effective teaching, student engagement and everyday school life.
